Condoleances

I was at MIT in 1996/7, and I remember Ramachandra as a soft-spoken gentle support in the lab. He was always calm, helpful, positive and supportive. I am sorry for his family that he has passed away.

Erich Ippen

Ramachandra was a delightful colleague. Always thoughtful, encouraging and generous – as well as a trusted expert on a broad range of topics in spectroscopy and biomedicine. In addition to interacting with him at MIT, I had the great pleasure of visiting IIT in Kanpur with him and appreciating the extent of his influence and stature there. His passing is a great loss to us all.
