After graduating with a degree in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering from National Institute of Technology Rourkela, India in 2007, He went on to do a Masters in Materials and Metallurgical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India where he developed his interests in electrochemistry and materials development. He was offered a College of Engineering and Physical Sciences Scholarship to do a PhD (2010-2014) on development of Bimetallic Pt-Cr electrocatalysts for PEMFCs from the University of Birmingham (working with Professor Paula M Mendes and Dr Surbhi Sharma). He joined as a post-doctoral researcher in 2015 on an Innovate UK project at Imperial College London on the development of low-cost proton exchange membrane fuel cells in partnership with Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG), Arcola Energy, Lohmann Technologies, 4th Energy Wave. In 2016, he joined Newcastle University as a research associate where he worked on various projects related to Alkaline Fuel Cells, Alkaline electrolysers, Catalysis.

Rajeev received his B.S. in materials and metallurgical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India and Ph.D. in materials engineering from Monash University, Australia. Prior to joining the NC State University faculty, he was an assistant professor of chemical, biomolecular and corrosion engineering at the University of Akron, Ohio.

At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Gloria Oporto, associate professor of wood science and technology, had researched woody biomass for food packaging and pharmacy novel applications. Woody biomass are timber-derived products that can be converted to energy through combustion or gasification.

With the aid of a National Science Foundation RAPID award for nearly $200,000, Oporto, Gupta and their team will develop and test antimicrobial, renewable mask biofilters constructed of composite biomaterials.

RAPID grants are awarded to researchers tackling quick-response projects supporting severe or urgent situations. RAPID awards have been granted to other University researchers already confronting the COVID-19 crisis.

According to Oporto, the three key components of the mask filters are: polylactic acid, a biodegradable plastic derived from agricultural and renewable resources; nanocellulose, a nontoxic, lightweight substance produced from wood pulp; and nano copper, which contains antimicrobial properties.

Developed filters will be tested to demonstrate that they have all the properties required for masks to be worn by medical personnel. If the research is successful, it will result in the development of a reusable medical mask that is superior than the single-use mask that is currently in use.

Another objective to the project is to promote collaborations across different fields such as wood science, health science, engineering, chemistry and biology which, in turn, will support training and education of students in these fields.

Members of the team include Jonathan Boyd, orthopaedics; Sushant Agarwal, chemical engineering; Rosaysela Santos, pathology, anatomy and laboratory medicine; and Edward Sabolsky, mechanical and aerospace engineering.

Published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers in Ankur Gupta's lab discovered how tiny charged particles, called ions, move within a complex network of minuscule pores. The breakthrough could lead to the development of more efficient energy storage devices, such as supercapacitors, said Gupta, an assistant professor of chemical and biological engineering.

"Given the critical role of energy in the future of the planet, I felt inspired to apply my chemical engineering knowledge to advancing energy storage devices," Gupta said. "It felt like the topic was somewhat underexplored and as such, the perfect opportunity."

Gupta explained that several chemical engineering techniques are used to study flow in porous materials such as oil reservoirs and water filtration, but they have not been fully utilized in some energy storage systems.

The discovery is significant not only for storing energy in vehicles and electronic devices but also for power grids, where fluctuating energy demand requires efficient storage to avoid waste during periods of low demand and to ensure rapid supply during high demand.

Their findings modify Kirchhoff's law, which has governed current flow in electrical circuits since 1845 and is a staple in high school students' science classes. Unlike electrons, ions move due to both electric fields and diffusion, and the researchers determined that their movements at pore intersections are different from what was described in Kirchhoff's law.

Prior to the study, ion movements were only described in the literature in one straight pore. Through this research, ion movement in a complex network of thousands of interconnected pores can be simulated and predicted in a few minutes.

Gupta holds a bachelor of technology degree in chemical engineering from the National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli in India. She is currently a PhD candidate at Penn State and works in both the Gomez Lab in the Department of Chemical Engineering and the Jackson Electronic Research Group in the Department of Electrical Engineering.

Graduate Student Anshu Gupta was the winner of the Best Poster Award given at the 23rd European Symposium on Computer Aided Process Engineering held in Lappeenranta Finland, June 9-12, 2013. Anshu presented a poster entitled "Intelligent Alarm System applied to Continuous Pharmaceutical Manufacturing". His poster is based on the PhD research that he is carrying out under NSF ERC SOPS sponsorship and was selected from the 110 posters presented at the meeting.

Anshu Gupta joined the School of Chemical Engineering in Fall 2010 and is advised by Professor Reklaitis. His BS degree is from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. Mr. Gupta's research is multidisciplinary in nature, combining process systems engineering methodologies and pharmaceutical engineering-based models and sensing methods, and is being carried out in collaboration with researchers at three other universities. The objective is to develop a comprehensive framework that can detect and diagnose abnormal events and provide mitigation advice to the operator. The research addresses one of the important challenges in effective real time process management; i.e., the implementation of intelligent systems that can assist human operators in making supervisory control decisions, instead of simply sounding an alarm when process variables go out of range. Operator failures to exercise the appropriate mitigation actions often have an adverse effect on product quality, process safety, occupational health and environmental impact. The economic effect of such exceptional events is immense; an estimated $20billion/year losses in petrochemical industry have been reported. The challenges and opportunities for improvements are even larger in the pharmaceutical manufacturing domain because it involves particulate and granular systems whose processing tends to be more problematic than that of fluids.

IAS deals with fault detection, diagnosis (FDD) and mitigation of conditions that result from process anomalies. Early detection and diagnosis of process faults while the plant is still operating in a controllable region can help avoid abnormal event progression, production disruptions and productivity losses. An IAS framework has been developed using a combination of Wavelet Analysis, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Signed Digraphs (SDG) and Qualitative Trend Analysis (QTA) and applied on pilot scale continuous tableting line. The framework was able to detect and diagnose several types of faults within a few seconds of their inception and provide mitigation advisories to the operator.
