Personal profile

Overview

Dr. Rajagopalan is a Lecturer in Chemical Engineering specializing in chemical process engineering, particularly on gas adsorption and crystallization. He is the lead investigator of the Purification and Separation Technology (PAST) laboratory. The PAST laboratory aims to develop sustainable technologies for challenging purification and separation problems. To achieve this the research activities span all the way from understanding fundamentals to developing processes. Particulate TechnologyGas Separation, and Porous Materials are the three focus areas of the laboratory. The research activities undertaken in his laboratory exploits state-of-the-art experimental, modeling, and data analytics techniques for designing and controlling chemical processes.
