==Early life==
Hosmane was born in [[Karnataka, India|Gokarna]](1948),<ref name="backgroundinfo"/> [[Uttar Kannada]] district, [[Karnataka]] state, India, to a [[Havyaka]] [[Brahmin]] family.

Baliga college, Kumta]] for his college studies, where he earned his [[Bachelor of Science]] in Chemistry with Botany as minor.

He is married to Sumathy Rao, who came from a [[Konkani language|Konkani]]-speaking family. He has one daughter and one son.

== Academic career ==
Hosmane earned [[Master of Science]] degree from [[Karnataka University]], [[Karnataka]], India.<ref name="nriachievers"/> He then obtained a [[Ph.D.]] degree in [[Organometallic]]/[[Inorganic Chemistry]] on 'Some reactions of stannic chloride with silicon hydrides and some novel group IV derivatives of mercury' <ref>{{Cite journal|last=S.|first=Hosmane, Narayan|date=1974|title=Some reactions of stannic chloride with silicon hydrides and some novel group IV derivatives of mercury|hdl=1842/14102|url=https://www.era.lib.ed.ac.uk/handle/1842/14102|language=en}}</ref> in 1974 from the [[University of Edinburgh]], Scotland.

After his postdoctoral research training in [[Queen's University Belfast|Queen's University]] of [[Belfast]], he joined the Lambeg Industrial Research Institute in [[Northern Ireland]], and then moved to the United States to study [[carboranes]] and metallacarboranes.<ref name="backgroundinfo"/> After postdoctoral work with Russell Grimes at the [[University of Virginia]], in 1979 he joined the faculty at the [[Virginia Polytechnic Institute]] and State University.<br /> In 1982 he joined the faculty at the [[Southern Methodist University]], where he became Professor of Chemistry in 1989. In 1998, he moved to [[Northern Illinois University]] and is currently a Distinguished Research Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Inaugural Board of Trustees Professor.<ref name="nriachievers"/>

In 2011, while attempting to produce [[carbon nanotube|single-walled carbon nanotubes]], Hosmane discovered that a known technique for carbon production (burning magnesium with dry ice) produced layers of [[graphene]].<ref name=Gizmag>{{cite web|last1=Coxworth|first1=Ben|title='Simple, green, and cost-effective' method of graphene production announced|url=http://www.gizmag.com/graphene-production-magnesium-dry-ice/18986/|publisher=Gizmag|accessdate=7 June 2015|date=21 June 2011}}</ref>
