== Biography ==
[[File:Loyola College Chennai entrance.jpg|thumb|235px|Loyola College, Chennai]]
N. Chandrakumar, born on 25 November 1951, in the south Indian state of [[Tamil Nadu]], graduated in chemistry from [[Loyola College, Chennai]] in 1970 and completed his master's degree at [[IIT Madras]] in 1972.<ref name="Dr. N. Chandrakumar - Faculty profile" /> His doctoral studies were at [[IIT Kanpur]] under the guidance of [[P. T.

He served the institute till 2001, holding positions such as that of a scientist, head of the Physical Sciences Division and a director-grade scientist and moved to IIT Madras where he is a professor at the department of chemistry. In between, he served as visiting scientist at [[JEOL]], [[National Institutes of Health]] (1986), and at [[University of Siegen]] (1993). He also had visiting professorships at [[University of Ulm]] (1997–98) and INSERM, Grenoble (2001).<ref name="Indian fellow" />

== Legacy ==
Chandrakumar is credited with the establishment of the first NMR laboratory in India which he accomplished during his early years at Central Leather Research Institute; later he would set up MRS and MRI facilities at IIT Madras.<ref name="Indian fellow" /> He is the inventor of the new NMR imaging technique for diffusion measurements and has done studies on rotating frame coherence transfer and multiple quantum NMR, high resolution spin-1 NMR and spin-1 connectivity mapping.<ref name="Handbook of Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize Winners">{{cite web | url=http://www.csirhrdg.res.in/ssb.pdf | title=Handbook of Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize Winners | publisher=Council of Scientific and Industrial Research | date=1999 | access-date=5 October 2016 | pages=34 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304043957/http://www.csirhrdg.res.in/ssb.pdf | archive-date=4 March 2016 | url-status=dead }}</ref> He holds seven patents for the processes he has developed.<ref name="Inventions and Patents">{{Cite web |url=http://chem.iitm.ac.in/faculty/chandrakumar/?page_id=361 |title=Inventions and Patents |date=2016 |publisher=IIT Madras}}</ref> His researches have been detailed in two monographs, ''Modern techniques in high-resolution FT-NMR''<ref name="ChandrakumarSubramanian1987">{{cite book|author1=Narayanan Chandrakumar|author2=Sankaran Subramanian|title=Modern techniques in high-resolution FT-NMR|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7KjvAAAAMAAJ|year=1987|publisher=Springer-Verlag|isbn=978-0-387-96327-3}}</ref> and ''Spin-1 NMR''<ref name="Chandrakumar2012">{{cite book|author=N.
