Short Bio

Dr. Sujit Sen has done his graduation in Chemistry (Hons.) as well as in Chemical Engineering (B.Tech.) both from Calcutta University in 1998 and 2001 followed by M.Tech. in Chemical Engineering from Calcutta University in 2003. He has done Ph.D. from Department of Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur in 2011. He has worked as senior research fellow in various organization such as CSIR-CGCRI, Jadavpur, Kolkata and Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. In 2011, he joined BITS Pilani, Rajasthan as Lecturer before moving to NIT Rourkela as Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering in the same year. He has a versatile area of research interests, experience and expertise focusing on real industrial and environmental issues that addresses UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – starting from starting from cradle-to-cradle solution to industrial waste to value-added material, wastewater treatment, environmental catalysis, green and sustainable synthesis of fine chemicals and polymers, carbon capture and utilization etc. He has guided 9 doctoral and 25 masters students so far. He is recipient of many high-value projects from DST, ISRO, CSIR, MHRD etc. He has published many high impact journals and patents. He is a recipient of “Fast-Track Young Scientist award” from DST in 2013 for his work in hydrogen sulfide gas capture and fine chemical synthesis and “2019 Class of Influential Researchers” in 2011 by American Chemical Society for his work on Arsenic remediation.
