My name is Arkoprabho Dasgupta. I joined the research group in August 2022. I studied Bachelors of Chemical Engineering from Jadavpur University, and then I worked in Reliance Industries Ltd. in a gasification sulphur complex. After that I applied for and eventually got selected to pursue a PhD program in the Advanced Process and Energy Systems Engineering group under Dr. Bhattacharya from WVU. My hobbies are reading storybooks, drawing and playing the violin.
