Profile Summary

Dr. Anirban Chowdhury is a chemical engineer and materials scientist with postdoctoral experience at Hong Kong Baptist University, specializing in low-cost photocatalysts and chemical looping for biomass conversion. His Ph.D. from IIT Guwahati focused on the bioinspired synthesis of metal oxides and sulfides for electrocatalytic CO₂ and N₂ reduction to formate and ammonia. He has strong hands-on expertise in electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, materials characterization (XRD, TEM, SEM, XPS, TGA, GC), and DFT-based computational modeling (Quantum Espresso). His publication record includes high-impact journals such as Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis, Chemical Engineering Journal, and Journal of CO₂ Utilization. He is proficient in analytical and electrochemical workstations, process simulation, and software like Origin Pro, ChemDraw, and ImageJ. With a strong foundation in reaction engineering, thermodynamics, and nanomaterials, he aims to advance research and teaching in sustainable energy and catalytic processes.
