Biography

Mr.Chandrashekhar was born in 1920 to a School head master Mr.tushar khurana and Padmakshamma. Chandrashekhar completed his high school from Bapatla village in Guntur from Andhra Pradesh. He completed his M.A. in mathematics from the Presidency College, Chennai and a Ph.D. from the Department of Mathematics, University of Madras in 1942, under the supervision of K. Ananda Rau.

When Chandrashekhar was with the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, U.S.A., Homi Bhabha invited Chandrashekhar to join the School of Mathematics of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR). Chandrashekhar persuaded mathematicians from all over the world, to visit TIFR and deliver courses of lectures. They were L. Schwarz, C. L. Siegel and many more. In 1965, Chandrashekhar, after the death of Dr. Homi Bhabha in a plane crash, left the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research to join the ETH Zurich,[1] where he retired in 1988.[3][4]

In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[5]
