About Sushobhan
Dr. Sushobhan Pradhan is currently working as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow (PDF) in the School of Chemical Engineering at Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, Oklahoma, USA.
Sushobhan born in Rairakhol, a naturally green city in Odisha, India. He started his pre-school in Sri Aurobindo Institute of Integral Education, Rairakhol, followed by primary level education in Rampur Sadar Primary School, Rairakhol, in 2003. He completed his secondary education in Goura Chandra High School, Rairakhol, in 2008. Subsequently, he moved to Sambalpur, to complete his higher-secondary education in Gangadhar Meher Junior College (now: Gangadhar Meher University (GMU)), Sambalpur.
In 2010, Sushobhan got admitted to Indira Gandhi Institute of Technology (IGIT), Sarang (under Biju Patnaik University of Technology (BPUT), Govt. of Odisha), Odisha, in the Department of Chemical Engineering through Orissa Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) to pursue his Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech). In 2014, he joined Department of Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IIT-G), Assam, India, to pursue his Masters of Technology (M.Tech) with 'Petroleum Science and Technology' specialization and as a Teaching Assistant, through Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) examination. After completing his M.Tech degree he joined in the School of Chemical Engineering at Oklahoma State University (OSU), Stillwater, Oklahoma, USA, as a Graduate Research and Teaching Associate (Ph.D.) in 2016, through his research credentials and standardized examinations (GRE and TOEFL). He defended his Ph.D. dissertation successfully in July 2021.
Sushobhan worked as a non-tenure-track appointment to the faculty in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Villanova University (VU), Villanova, Pennsylvania, USA and conducted research as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Villanova University from August, 2021 to February, 2022. Starting March, 2022, Sushobhan joined as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the School of Chemical Engineering at Oklahoma State University (OSU), Stillwater, Oklahoma, USA.
Sushobhan is an enthusiastic, adaptive and fast-learning devotee with broad and acute interest in the field of Chemical Engineering research. During undergraduate level he was working on coal beneficiation, while during masters level he was conducting research on polymer technology, material science, and bio-fuel. He was working on surface chemistry, bubble nucleation, and enhanced oil recovery related areas, in the course of his doctoral dissertation work. He has involved in 50 scholarly activities (publications and presentations) and received 15 awards in various academic and leadership categories.
Sushobhan is fond of listening acoustics and travelling during his leisure time. He also plays badminton, bowling and tennis to maintain his athleticism.
