Stifel and Quinette Jens Professor Professor, School of Engineering chairman, Energy, Environmental & Chemical Engineering Expertise: aerosol science, nanoparticle technology, air quality engineering, combustion, material processing for environmental technologies, environmentally benign processing, environmental nanotechnology, thermal sciences, transport phenomena Biswas received his Ph.D. from California Institute of Technology, has published extensively in his field and served on many international organizations and conferences. His research interests include aerosol science and engineering, nanoparticle technology, air quality engineering, combustion, materials processing for environmental technologies, environmentally benign processing, environmental nanotechnology, thermal sciences, bioterrorism, critical infrastructure, environment, natural disasters, and sensors. He holds a patent for a device that traps and deactivates microbial particles. The work is promising in the war on terrorism for deactivating airborne bioagents and bioweapons such as the smallpox virus, anthrax and ricin, and also in routine indoor air ventilation applications such as in buildings and aircraft cabins.
