(November 30, 1858 – November 23, 1937)
Extraordinarily influential, Jagadish Chandra Bose was a polymath who made in-depth discoveries in physics and biology. The ease with which he navigated physical and biological sciences evokes the memory of Louis Pasteur. Among others, he was a leading researcher on radio waves. In 1894, (prior to Oliver Lodge, Augusto Righi and Pyotr Lebedev), Chandra Bose ran the first experiments on microwaves. His successes culminated in the generation of frequencies which ranged up to 60 GHz (or 5 millimeters). This he achieved using 3-millimeter metal ball spark oscillator. Afterwards, he developed the waveguide, horn antennae, and semiconductor crystal detectors with which he advanced his research. Although his works emphasized properties, rather than utilities of waves, they were indispensable to engineers (including Guglielmo Marconi) who used Bose’s Millimeter Wave Generator designs in enhancing their own knowledge. Regarding biology, Bose’s novelty discoveries in botany saw him inventing Crescograph: for measuring incremental plants’ growths. Focusing on physiology, anatomy and morphology, he pioneered Phytoneurology whose revelations resonated well with international audience. Even the-then condescending British-Indian government was challenged into sponsoring additional ecosystems. As tenured professor, Jagadish Chandra Bose authored bestsellers and mentored famous students that include Satyendra Nath Bose. And like Madhava of Sangamagrama before him, the research center which he instituted has enlightened generations of scholars. Bose’s versatility manifested in his nurturing of diverse protégés. For laying the foundations of experimental sciences across the sub-continent, numerous commemorations were dedicated to him. In 1970, the International Astronomical Union honored him with the 93-kilometer-wide Bose lunar impact crater.
