Kamanio Chattopadhyay (born 1950) is an Indian materials engineer and an honorary professor at the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru. [1] He is the chair of the Mechanical Sciences Division of IISc[2] and a former chair of the Department of Materials Engineering.[3]

Chattopadhyay is best known for his discovery of decagonal nanoquantum quasicrystals which he accomplished in 1985, along with L. Bendersky and S. Ranganathan.[4][5] He is also credited with researches on synthesis and characterization of quasicrystals and nanocomposites[6] and is an elected fellow of all the three major Indian science academies viz. Indian Academy of Sciences,[7] Indian National Science Academy[8] and National Academy of Sciences, India[9] as well as the Indian National Academy of Engineering.[10] The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, the apex agency of the Government of India for scientific research, awarded him the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology, one of the highest Indian science awards for his contributions to Engineering Sciences in 1995.[11][note 1]
