Siva Brata Bhattacherjee

Professor Bhattacherjee in Calcutta

Siva Brata (Sibabrata) Bhattacherjee (1921-2003) was a professor of physics at the University of Calcutta and a crystallographer.[1][2] He studied with the physicist Satyendra Nath Bose (creator of the Bose–Einstein statistics) and completed his doctorate under his guidance.[3] In 1945 he joined the Khaira Laboratory of Physics at the University College of Science, Calcutta and made important contributions to the field of X-ray crystallography.[4][5][6] Bhattacherjee also served as a faculty member of the Department of Technology at the University of Manchester.[7]

He was married to crystallographer and mineralogist Lilabati Bhattacharjee, who served as a senior mineralogist at the Geological Survey of India, and later went on to serve as the director of the organisation.[8] He is survived by their son Dr Subrata Bhattacherjee and daughter Mrs Sonali Karmakar.
