He highlighted the importance of aligning research with today’s environmental needs, saying, “Any research conducted oblivious of the world directions towards the pressing needs will not be much fruitful.”
Prof. Bhattacharjee credited his success to the support from his teachers, colleagues, and dedicated scholars in his laboratory, sharing, "I share this achievement with my teachers, my scholars who are working tirelessly in the lab, and my colleagues for giving me a supportive environment.”
With over 100 research articles published in peer-reviewed journals, Prof. Bhattacharjee advocates for a sustainable approach in scientific research.
