[5] Amalendu Chandra, born on 6 October 1963 in the Indian state of West Bengal, graduated in chemistry from the University of Burdwan in 1984 and completed his master's degree from the same university in 1986.
[6] His doctoral studies were at the Indian Institute of Science and after securing a PhD in 1991, he moved to Canada for his post-doctoral studies at the University of British Columbia on an Izaac Walton Killam Fellowship.
[9] He is also associated with Biman Bagchi and assists the research group headed by the latter in their studies.
[10] Chandra's researches are based on the simulations of liquids, interface and clusters and he is known to have contributed to develop microscopic theories and predictions.
[11] He has conducted reportedly extensive studies on the equilibrium and dynamical behaviour of complex molecular liquids and bulk ionic solutions as well as on the structure of molecular clusters using theoretical and computational methodologies.
