Graphene-based 3D Macrostructures for Clean Energy and Environmental Applications

Dr Rajasekhar Balasubramanian is a Full Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the National University of Singapore, Singapore. He received his PhD from the University of Miami, USA in 1991 and worked at Brookhaven National Laboratory, New York and at the New York State Department of Health, Albany as a research scientist prior to joining NUS as a faculty. His interests range across: Air Quality, Climate Change, Aerosol Science & Technology, Environmental & Health Risk Assessment, Water Quality, and Sustainable Development. Dr Shamik Chowdhury is currently an Assistant Professor in the School of Environmental Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India. He obtained his B.Tech. (2009) from the West Bengal University of Technology (India) and M.Tech. (Gold Medalist) (2011) from the National Institute of Technology Durgapur (India), both in Biotechnology. He then earned his Ph.D. (2017) in Environmental Engineering from the National University of Singapore. His current research activities focus on the design and development of advanced functional materials, with an emphasis on graphene-based materials, for sustainable energy applications and climate change mitigation.
