== Biography ==
Sumit Bhaduri, born on 22 October 1948, in the Indian state of [[West Bengal]], graduated in chemistry in 1968 from [[Presidency College, Kolkata]] when the college was under the [[University of Calcutta]] and moved to the UK to do a [[Tripos]] at the [[University of Cambridge]] in 1971.<ref name="Indian fellow" /> He stayed at Cambridge to secure a PhD in 1974 and as a Royal Society post-doctoral fellow, he did his post-doctoral studies at the [[University of Milan]] in 1975. Subsequently, he went back to Cambridge to complete the studies in 1976. A year later, he returned to India and started his career as a scientist at Alchemie Research Center of the Indian subsidiary of the [[Imperial Chemical Industries]] where he continued till 1995 when he resigned from the centre to join ACC Research and Consultancy Directorate. In 1999, he joined [[Reliance Industries]] as the head of their R&D Division and resigned as the senior scientific advisor in 2010.<ref name="Indian fellow" />

Focusing his researches on homogeneous catalysis, Bhaduri is known to have studied the synthesis of a number of metal-carbonyl clusters and his studies have widened the understanding of polymer-supported catalysis.<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 |year=1999 | accessdate=5 October 2016 | pages=34}}</ref> His researches have been documented in a book, ''Homogeneous Catalysis: Mechanisms and Industrial Applications'',<ref name="Homogeneous Catalysis: Mechanisms and Industrial Applications" /> and over 100 research papers published in peer-reviewed national and international journals.<ref name="Browse by Fellow">{{Cite web |url=http://repository.ias.ac.in/view/fellows/Bhaduri=3ASumit=3A=3A.html |title=Browse by Fellow |year=2016 |publisher=Indian Academy of Sciences}}</ref> He also writes general articles related to science and science education.<ref name="Wake up India: Neglecting science could kill it one day">{{Cite press release |title=Wake up India: Neglecting science could kill it one day |date=11 October 2015 |work=Hindustan Times |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/analysis/wake-up-india-neglecting-science-could-kill-it-one-day/story-Wh7Zusj2KdRrDfBfZRtp6N.html |last1=Bhaduri |first1=Samir}}</ref> He holds several patents for the processes he has developed<ref name="Patents by Inventor Sumit Bhaduri">{{Cite web |url=http://patents.justia.com/inventor/sumit-bhaduri |title=Patents by Inventor Sumit Bhaduri |year=2016 |publisher=Justia Patents}}</ref> and one of them, on the manufacturing of [[Ziegler-Natta catalysts|Ziegler-Natta polypropylene catalyst]] is in use with his former employers, [[Reliance Industries]].

Bhaduri, a SERC lecturer, has served as a visiting professor at [[Northwestern University]] and [[University of Bordeaux]] and is adjunct faculty at the [[Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai]].<ref name="Adjunct Faculty">{{Cite web |url=http://www.chem.iitb.ac.in/people/Faculty/faculty_adjunct.php |title=Adjunct Faculty |year=2016 |publisher=Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai}}</ref> The Indian Academy of Sciences elected him as their fellow in 1989<ref name="Fellow profile" /> and the [[Council of Scientific and Industrial Research]] awarded him the [[Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize]], one of the highest Indian science awards, in 1992.<ref name="Chemical Sciences">{{cite web | url=http://www.csir.res.in/External/Heads/career/award/BPRIZE/CHEMICAL_SCIENCES.htm | title=Chemical Sciences | publisher=Council of Scientific and Industrial Research | year=2016 | access-date=7 November 2016 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120912012851/http://www.csir.res.in/external/heads/career/award/BPRIZE/CHEMICAL_SCIENCES.htm | archive-date=12 September 2012 | df=dmy-all }}</ref> He became a fellow of the Indian National Science Academy in 1993.<ref name="Indian fellow" />
