Vice Chancellor for International Programs, and Chair of the Department of Energy, Environmental and Chemical Engineering<ref name=":0">{{cite web|url=https://engineering.wustl.edu/Profiles/Pages/Pratim-Biswas.aspx|title=Pratim Biswas|publisher=Washington University in St. Louis|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200611004402/https://engineering.wustl.edu/Profiles/Pages/Pratim-Biswas.aspx|archive-date=11 June 2020|accessdate=10 February 2021}}</ref> at [[Washington University in St. Louis]]. He is also Director of MAGEEP, the McDonnell Academy Global Energy and Environmental Partnership. He received his doctoral degree from the [[California Institute of Technology]], Pasadena in 1985, and his bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the [[Indian Institute of Technology]], Bombay in 1980.<ref name="USEPA" /> He was elected to the [[United States National Academy of Engineering]] in 2019 "for advancing the science of aerosol dynamics and particle removal technologies."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nae.edu/204088.aspx |title=Election Citation|publisher=National Academy of Engineering}}</ref>

He has graduated and advised 60 PhD students, and with them published more than 450 refereed journal articles. He is one of the top [[aerosol]] research scientists in the world with one of the best and most well-equipped aerosol labs in the USA.

A key area of application of his work has been in the Energy and Environmental technology arena.<ref name=":0" />

==Career==
Biswas began his academic career on the faculty of the [[University of Cincinnati]], where he rose through the ranks to become a full professor and director of the university's Environmental Engineering Science Division and also spent a one-year sabbatical at the [[National Institute of Standards and Technology]]. He moved to Washington University as the inaugural Stifel and Quinette Jens Professor in 2000.<ref name="USEPA">{{cite book|editor=Yang, Y. Jeffrey|title=Proceedings of the First National Expert and Stakeholder Workshop on Water Infrastructure Sustainability and Adaptation to Climate Change, Report EPA-600-09-010|publisher=U.S. Environmental Protection Agency|date=April 2009|pages=113}}</ref>

At Washington University he has assembled a strong group of aerosol researchers who collectively work on a range of topics in aerosol science and engineering. These faculty work in areas of aerosol science and technology ranging from particle formation, growth, transport, measurement, control and applications. From 2006 to 2007 he was a President of the American Association for Aerosol Research.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.aaar.org/about-aaar/history/|title=History|publisher=American Association for Aerosol Research|accessdate=January 17, 2019}}</ref> Dr. Biswas is the current President of the International Aerosol Research Assembly.
