NABANITA CHAKRABORTY

About

To be awarded Ph.D. and am specialized in the interdisciplinary research of Nanotechnology, Material Sciences, and Environmental Chemistry. My doctoral research focuses on developing high-performance, cost-effective solutions for global water scarcity.
I pioneered Graphene Oxide (GO) nanomaterials for advanced water purification via adsorption. My material achieves rapid and high-efficiency remediation (under 10 minutes) for a wide range of pollutants, including heavy metals, dyes, and pharmaceuticals. Designed for regeneration and circular water design, I prioritize creating low-energy and climate-resilient filtration systems.
I hold practical experience from a six-month tenure at a UK-based water purification startup, linking academic research with commercial product development. My skills include Wastewater treatment, Green chemistry, aerogels development, and hands-on use of FESEM, BET, and UV-Vis Spectrometry.
Deeply committed to inclusive innovation, I leverage my skills in Teaching & mentoring and Community outreach by delivering online environmental lectures for capacity building. My objective is to fuse interdisciplinary research with sustainable system design, driving impact through technology, education, and collaboration. I am eager to transition my research into impactful, real-world solutions.
