About Guest Faculty Professor Bhattacharya came to academia in 2009 after having worked for twenty-one years in industry – at the International Energy Agency in France, Anglo Coal Australia and CRC for Lignite in Australia, and Development Consultants in India. He commissioned the first CFBC in Australia, led the first Oxygen-blown HTW and Transport Reactor trials of Victorian brown coal, and worked on commissioning of coal-fired plants in India. In his current position, he has supervised 17 students to PhD completion and currently leads a group of 16 PhD students and researchers working on gasification of coal and biomass, petroleum coke and wastes, advanced combustion for CO2 capture at lower energy penalty, biofuels production and platform chemicals from biomass. Professor Bhattacharya believes in the near to intermediate term application of engineering research. Most of his research projects are, therefore, affiliated with industries in Australia and overseas. Professor Bhattacharya has presented extensively at academic and industry conferences in Australia, China, Germany, India, Poland, Thailand, and the USA.
