Srinivas Rangarajan is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Lehigh University since 2017. Srinivas received his Ph.D. from University of Minnesota in 2013 and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2016. Srinivas’s research is at the intersection of catalysis and process systems engineering; he develops and applies a spectrum of computational techniques such as density functional theory, cheminformatics, optimization, machine learning, and statistics to elucidate and design catalytic reaction systems and functional materials. His awards include the David Smith Graduate Publication Award from the AIChE CAST division, the doctoral new investigator award from ACS Petroleum Research Fund, the Rossin Assistant Professorship from Lehigh’s Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and the John Ochs Faculty Award from the Baker Institute at Lehigh. Srinivas’s research is supported by ACS, NSF, and PITA.
