== Biography ==<br />
[[File:Bangaloreuniversity.jpg|thumb|235px|Bangalore University]]<br />
J. Chandrasekhar, born on 23 October 1952 in the south Indian state of [[Karnataka]], graduated in chemistry from [[Bangalore University]] in 1970 and joined the [[Indian Institute of Technology, Madras]] for his master's degree which he completed in 1972.<ref name="Indian fellow" /> He continued at IIT Madras for his doctoral studies on computational chemistry and theoretical organic chemistry under the guidance of S. Subramanian and secured a PhD in 1977.<ref name="Jayaraman Chandrasekhar - Faculty profile">{{cite web | url=http://orgchem.iisc.ernet.in/faculty/jc/jc.html | title=Jayaraman Chandrasekhar - Faculty profile | publisher=Indian Institute of Science | date=2016 | access-date=29 November 2016 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161129210248/http://orgchem.iisc.ernet.in/faculty/jc/jc.html | archive-date=29 November 2016 | url-status=dead }}</ref> His post-doctoral studies were at [[University of Erlangen-Nuremberg]] at the laboratory of [[Paul von Ragué Schleyer]], a fellow of the [[Royal Society of Chemistry]] and later at with [[William L.
