== Biography ==&lt;br /&gt;
Bagchi was born in 1954 to Binay K. Bagchi, a school principal and his homemaker/part-time teacher wife, Abha, in [[Kolkata]] in the Indian state of [[West Bengal]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Autobiography of Biman Bagchi&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last=Bagchi |first=Biman |title=Autobiography of Biman Bagchi |journal=J.

He earned a PhD at [[Brown University]] in 1980, working with [[Julian Gibbs]] and did his post-doctoral studies at [[James Franck Institute]] of the [[University of Chicago]] as a research associate. There he worked with renowned chemists such as [[David W. Oxtoby]], [[Graham Fleming]] and [[Stuart Rice]] till 1983 when he shifted to the laboratory of [[Robert Zwanzig]] of the [[University of Maryland]] for a one-year stint.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Indian fellow&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Bagchi returned to India in 1984 and joined [[Indian Institute of Science]] (IISc) at their [https://sscu.iisc.ac.in/ Solid State and Structural Chemistry Unit] as a lecturer and established his research group.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Biman Bagchi Group&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=http://bimanbagchi.com/ |title=Bagchi Group official website |date=2016 |publisher=Bagchi Group |work=Laboratory profile |access-date=24 November 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191023035902/http://www.bimanbagchi.com/ |archive-date=23 October 2019 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Research ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{technical|date=March 2022}}&lt;br /&gt;
In an academic career spanning over more than three decades in which Bagchi has travelled over a wide landscape of [[physical chemistry]], [[chemical physics]], and [[biophysical chemistry]] where his contributions often helped build up an area from its foundations. This was done by maintaining a close collaboration with experimental research groups both in India and abroad. He often developed theories that combined sophisticated theoretical approaches (such as mode coupling theory) to extend traditional and established theories and methods (like Kramers&amp;#039; theory of barrier crossing dynamics, [[Förster resonance energy transfer|FRET]], and [[electrochemistry]]) to explain emerging experimental and simulation results.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Professor Bagchi has published more than 480 articles and received more than 24000 citations.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=Biman Bagchi|url=https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=90DF24UAAAAJ&amp;amp;hl=en|access-date=2021-08-14|website=scholar.google.com}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;

section}} He is also associated with a number of science journals as a member of their editorial boards.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Indian fellow&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;He has authored 22 major review articles that are partly pedagogical and influenced generations of physical and theoretical chemists.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some representative examples of his seminal contributions are discussed below:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(i)  In the 1970s and 1980s, it was realized that a large number of ultrafast processes could show the usual dynamical characteristics of an activated reaction but occur in the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;absence of any activation barrier&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; to their reactive motion. Prof. Bagchi developed the first and till to date the most successful theory of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;barrierless chemical reactions&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. This theory explained how we can speak of a reaction rate even in the absence of a barrier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(ii)  &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Solvation dynamics&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; of polar solutes in dipolar liquids (like water, ethanol) was a topic of huge contemporary interest from mid-eighties to late nineties. A continuum model of the solvent with a frequency dependent dielectric function was developed by Bagchi that predicted a relaxation time, later called the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;longitudinal relaxation time&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, which was faster than the dielectric relaxation time of the solvent, thus providing a first-time explanation of the experimentally observed fast relaxation of the time dependent solvation energy. However, the continuum model could not explain the ultrafast sub-100 fs solvation observed by Fleming &amp;#039;&amp;#039;et al.&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Bagchi explained this by developing a &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;microscopic theory&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; which included intermolecular correlations and also the contribution of translational contributions of solvent molecules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(iii)  The &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;dielectric relaxation&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; theories prior to mid-eighties considered primarily rotational modes. Bagchi and co-workers came up with a microscopic theory of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;frequency and wave vector dependent dielectric function&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; which included both rotational and translational degrees of freedom. Translational modes were shown to play a hidden role in dielectric relaxation. Due to the presence of orientational correlations, the longitudinal and transverse dielectric functions exhibit vastly different relaxation times at finite wave vectors. This was indeed an important result because, in many dynamical processes, it is the finite wave vector response of the solvent that matters the most. A self-consistent theory was developed for the dielectric friction and dielectric relaxation. It was shown that the presence of translational contributions can make dielectric relaxation more Debye-like for cases where only rotational contributions give rise to a highly non-Debye form of dielectric relaxation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
