Dr. Chirakkal V. KrishnanChirakkal V. Krishnan, the third child among five of Chirakkal Variyam Parvathy Varasyar and Kizhakke Wariam Krishna Warrier, wasborn at Urakam, Cherpu Panchayath, Thrissur District, Kerala in 1937. While studying at C. N. N. Boys High School, Cherpu, he wasalso fulfilling temple associated duties of his family at Urakam Ammathiruvadi Temple and Kidakulangara Sree Krishna Temple.He studied Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics for Intermediate at St. Thomas College, Thrissur and B. Sc. degree course in Chemistryat Sree Kerala Varma College, Thrissur. He passed with First Class in High School and both the Colleges. He was the “valedictorian”from his high school. While working as a Scientist at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre after completing one year as a first batch traineeof Bhabha Atomic Research Centre Training School, he completed his Master of Science and Ph. D. in Physical Chemistry fromBombay University. He was the recipient of Ratanji Ranchhodji Desai Gold Medal for the best Ph. D. thesis. In 1967 he left for StonyBrook University, New York, for higher studies. In New York, as a teacher at East Islip High School and in various capacities such asAdjunct Associate Professor, Professor, and Director of Chemical Education Resource Centre at Stony Brook University he taughtChemistry for 32 years for high school students, undergraduates, and teachers studying for their Master’s Degree. Throughout thisperiod, he had the good fortune to carry out basic research at Stony Brook University, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and StonyBrook Technology and Applied Research Centre (as Senior Research Scientist) in four major fields that include aqueous solutionthermodynamics, photochemistry related to solar energy, biological spatiotemporal oscillations, and biomedical applications related tocancer. During the last few years he had collaborative research programs at Garnett McKeen Laboratory (as Vice President for Research)and at Amala Cancer Research Centre at Thrissur on mitochondrial energy production and radiation protection effects of certain metalcomplexes. Dr. Krishnan has shown his mettle in the field of research by having 70 or more research publications in peer reviewedinternational journals, several book chapters, and two science books for children. Dr. Krishnan was the first Indian to receive 4 United States National Awards. His contributions were recognized in 1984 by the UnitedStates government, which conferred on him its highest teaching award, the “Presidential Award for Excellence in Science and MathematicsTeaching” from Ronald Reagan, then President of the United States. The citation said he was being so honoured for “embodyingexcellence in teaching, for devotion to the learning needs of students, and for upholding the high standards that exemplify Americaneducation at its finest.” He earned it at the age of 47, a comparatively young age in academic terms for such an honor. Dr. Krishnan’sthree other National Awards include: the 1989 “National Catalyst Award” for being the best chemistry teacher in the United States andCanada, the 1984 American Chemical Society “Nichols Foundation Chemistry Teacher Award” for inspiring chemistry teaching, and“The American Teacher Award,” sponsored by the Walt Disney Company, given to outstanding teachers in1992.The Chemistry syllabus followed in the schools of New York State for the last three decades and a half was formulated by a 3 memberpanel of experts including Dr. Krishnan. His own methodology “Magic of Chemistry” staged in more than 800 venues across UnitedStates has made learning science enjoyable and be appreciated by thousands of students, teachers, and the general public.Dr. Krishnan has founded a charitable facility, “Sopaanam”, or “Stepping Stone to Divinity” by way of education in Cherpu, spendingmoney from his own savings from teaching career and through very modest living. The motto of this institution is “Education throughFun”. A Chemistry lab, a Physics lab, a Computer lab, a Professional Library, and an Indoor Games facility are parts of the set-up here.Apart from this, there are provisions for teaching of Kerala art-forms, music and dance, different languages, health awareness campaigns,medical camps, yoga, and literary activities. All these activities are provided free to students and the public.Dr. Krishnan, science educator par excellence, continues to serve both the countries, India and the United States with equal passionand fervor.
