About the Author
He is currently working on hydrodeoxygenation of vegetable oils, steam and oxidative steam reforming, conversion of bio-butanol to gasoline, butylenes and aromatics, hydroxyalkylation-alkylation reaction, and hydrocarbon biofuels from platform chemicals. Prof. Maity executed several externally funded research projects and guided five Ph.D. students so far. Prof. Maity published thirty-five research articles, five book chapters, one edited book, and several presentations at national and international conferences.
Dr. Kalyan Gayen is an academician in the field of Chemical Engineering. He is currently working in the Department of Chemical Engineering, National Institute of Technology Agartala, India. He received his Ph.D. degree from the Department of Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, and worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California. His current research interests are microalgae and cyanobacteria-based biofuels and bioproducts, conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into liquid biofuels and value-added chemicals, metabolic network analysis and systems biology and fermentation technology.
He executed five externally funded projects and guided three Ph.D. students. Dr. Gayen published more than thirty-six research articles, one edited book, thirteen book chapters, and several presentations at national and international conferences.
Dr. Tridib Kumar Bhowmick is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Bioengineering, National Institute of Technology Agartala, India. He received his Ph.D. degree from the Department of Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India. He worked as a postdoctoral research assistant from 2008 to 2013 at the Institute for Bioscience and Biotechnology Research, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland. His research was focused on traditional Indian medicine, nanomaterials, and targeted therapeutic delivery. Currently, he is involved in exploring the northeast region of India, representing a biodiversity hotspot with endemic flora and fauna, in identifying promising microalgal strains as alternative bio-fuel resources. His broad interest is to understand the characteristics of biomaterials at the nano-scale level and is looking forward to their novel applications. Dr. Bhowmick published more than twenty-five research articles, one edited book, four book chapters, and several national and international conference proceedings.
