Dr. Chandra is a PhD in Environmental Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. Before this, he completed his Master’s in Environmental Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (ISM) Dhanbad. He has published many research papers on groundwater management and remediation of heavy metals and emerging pollutants from water resources. Currently, he is the principal investigator in a DST-sponsored project that aims to treat and desalinate brackish water resources.
