Prof. Dr. Praveen Linga

I am a Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the National University of Singapore (NUS). At Linga Lab, we work on both fundamental and applied aspects of research. The vision of Linga Lab@NUS is to advance hydrate technology as an effective, and feasible solution for the critical needs of clean and safe water, cleaner energy, and environmental stewardship addressing UN Sustainability Development Goals of 6, 7, and 13. The specific focus of our research is to develop methods and innovate on experimental process design targeted at improving the kinetics of hydrate formation and dissociation. At Linga Lab, we have built and developed state-of-the-art research facilities for macro, micro, and molecular level investigations pertaining to gas (clathrate) hydrates. I have published more than 160 research articles and delivered more than 100 keynote/invited talks and seminars. Our research has been cited more than 15,000 times with an h-index >65 (data from Google Scholar). Received numerous awards/recognitions including being named among the World's Most Influential Scientific Minds and Highly Cited Researchers in Engineering by Clarivate Analytics, SCEJ (Society of Chemical Engineers, Japan) Award for Outstanding Asian Researcher and Engineer in 2019, NUS Young Researcher Award in 2017, and the Donald W. Davidson Award at ICGH9 in Denver USA for outstanding contributions to gas hydrate research in 2017.
