Encyclopedia
Pratim Biswas is the Stifel and Quinette Jens Professor of Environmental Engineering Science and Chair of the Department of Energy, Environmental and Chemical Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis
. He is also Director of MAGEEP, the McDonnell Academy Global Energy and Environmental Partnership. He received his doctoral degree from the California Institute of Technology
, Pasadena in 1985, and his bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay in 1980.
Dr. Biswas' expertise is in the area of Aerosol Science and Technology. Specifically, it is in the area of understanding particle formation and growth in high temperature environments. The understanding is then used to control emissions of particles from sources such as combustion devices; or to synthesize materials with controlled properties in the nanometer size regimes. He is one of the top aerosol research scientists in the world with one of the best and most well-equipped aerosol labs in the USA.
A key area of application of his work has been in the Energy and Environmental technology arena.
