Dr. Arpita Nandy
Assistant Professor, RISE, TCG CREST
Dr. Arpita Nandy is an Assistant Professor at the Research Institute for Sustainable Energy (RISE), TCG CREST, Kolkata, with a research focus on sustainable bioprocessing, biomass valorization, and microbial technologies for renewable energy generation. She completed her Ph.D. from the University of Calcutta and subsequently gained extensive international and national research experience through postdoctoral positions at the University of Calgary, Canada, University of Bath, UK, followed by a DBT-Research Associate position at IISER Mohali.
After joining RISE in 2023, her major research focus is on developing integrated and sustainable approaches for lignocellulosic biomass valorization, with particular emphasis on catalytic delignification, biofuel production, and the integration of biological and electrochemical processes for resource and energy recovery. Her research interests lie at the intersection of biotechnology, materials science, bioelectrochemical technologies, with an overarching objective of developing scalable technologies that support the transition toward a circular bioeconomy.
Dr. Nandy has published her research in leading international journals, including Applied Energy, Biosensors and Bioelectronics, Journal of Hazardous Materials, Electrochimica Acta etc. She serves on the editorial board of Sustainability Science and Technology (IOP Publishing). She has received several competitive fellowships and recognitions, including the CSIR-SRF, DBT Research Associateship, and D. S. Kothari Postdoctoral Fellowship. She leads a growing interdisciplinary research team working on emerging challenges in sustainable biomass utilization and bioenergy.
