Biosketch
Mr. Pranjal Gogoi born in Assam and has completed his masters in Chemical Sciences from Tezpur University-Assam. His research interest is to design nano-catalysts for efficient production of H2 through the Aqueous phase and steam reforming of bio-based oxygenated hydrocarbons. Despite of time demanding career in research, he manages well to indulge in paintings, drawing and sketches. He won accolades for the state level competitions held in Assam by painting for themes like Bihu a form of local folk dance, peace and Silence.
