SPEAKERS

Prof. Sri Bandyopadhyay, University of New South Wales, Australia 

Senior Visiting Fellow Dr Sri Bandyopadhyay is in the Faculty of Science in the School of Materials Sci & Engg at UNSW Sydney, Australia.. His research interests include Fly ash recycling technology which can be valuable and industrially gainful for polymer-matrix, metal-matrix and cement-matrix composites. In 2013, Campus Review Australia selected him  as 1 of Top 5 INNOVATORS for his novel technology of changing the colour of fly ash from grey black to near white status-without using any chemical treatments.
