Sandip Chakrabarti is one of the most popular and richest Astrophysicist who was born on November 15, 1958 in English Bazar, West Bengal, India. An astrophysicist , who became famous for constructing an algorithm for computer simulation to demonstrate the possibility that the life that exists that exists on Earth could have been created in the outer space. His research focuses on the hydrodynamic and radiative characteristics of the astrophysical fluids around black holes.
They and He and Neil Degrasse Tyson are two of the world’s premiere astrophysicists. are among the top astrophysicists in the world.
The main focus of Chakrabarti’s research is the hydrodynamic and radiative properties of astrophysical flows around black holes and other compact objects. He showed that the accreting matter must be transonic and should have standing, oscillating and propagating shocks. He and his collaborators studied many aspects of these flows and showed that the black hole accretion must have non-Keplerian component which plays a major role in deciding the observational properties. He wrote the first monograph on “Theory of Transonic Astrophysical Flows” (World Scientific Pub. Co., Singapore; 1990). He has completed over 570 research articles and written or edited several books and conference volumes. Thirty eight students have completed Ph.D. Thesis under his supervision. According to Chakrabarti, black hole astrophysics is basically the astrophysics of sub-Keplerian flows and CENBOL, the centrifugal pressure dominated boundary layer around black holes. The work of Chakrabarti (Astrophysical journal, 1997) brings out the detailed spectral properties of two component flows.
Chakrabarti was the first scientist to suggest that Gamma-ray bursts are the birth cry of black holes at his presentation in 1995, third Hunsville, Alabama Conference. In 2013, Scientists observed a conclusive evidence of this birth cry.
He was married to his wife, Dr. Sonali Chakrabarti, the daughter of a famous scientist.

After finishing his Bachelor of Science from Ramakrishna Mission Residential College, Narendrapur in Physics Honours in 1979 (and becoming topper of Calcutta University) he went to IIT, Kanpur to complete his M. Sc. Degree in Physics in 1981. He joined the Physics Dept. of the University of Chicago in 1981 to complete PhD work. Within a year he completed a paper with Robert Geroch and X.B. Liang on a Theorem on “Time like Curves of limited acceleration in General Relativity”. Subsequently, he concentrated on black hole astrophysics, received his Ph.D. in 1985 and went to Caltech as a R.C. Tolman Fellow. Major work in this period includes nucleosynthesis around black holes with W.D. Arnett.
