Dr. Binoy Kumar Saikia is an Indian Chemist and a Principal Scientist at CSIR-North East Institute of Science and Technology. Dr. Saikia is presently an associate member of the Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers, a Fellow member of the Geological Society of India (FGS), member of the Mining Geological and Metallurgical Institute of India (MGMI). The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, the apex agency of the Government of India for scientific research, awarded him the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology, one of the highest Indian science awards, in 2021, for his contributions in the field of science and technology. He has received Prof. (Dr.) MP Singh memorial coal science award-2019 for the outstanding contribution to coal chemistry and technology. He is also a recipient of the Dr. R.P Bhatnagar Award (2015-16) from The Mining, Geological & Metallurgical Institute of India (MGMI) for his outstanding contribution to mineral beneficiation. Holder of IIME Coal Beneficiation Award (Academic/Industry) in 2015, Award for Honourable Mention Technical Paper in International Pittsburgh Coal Conference, USA, and MESA (Mineral Engineering Science Association of India) Award-2014. The same year he received Rajiv Gandhi Excellence Award-2012 from the Union Minister of Coal, Govt. of India.
Dr. Saikia’s contributions were primarily on alternative utilization of Indian Coal and its value-added products from abundant low-grade coals. His works also include contributions to air quality evaluation, aerosol chemistry, and its mitigation approach. He has more than 110 peer-reviewed research publications, with the highest IF of 10.588, > 2500 citations, and an h-index of 26. He is mentoring several doctoral scholars in their research. He developed a technology for the production of blue-florescent carbon quantum dots from Indian coal which is patented both in India and the US. He has presented several conference papers nearly 45 and has 5 patents (2 US and 3-Indian). He has handled multiple R&D projects and currently holds four ongoing R&D projects with external R&D funding obtained up to 10.50 crore. He is also associated with many science journals and serves as the Editor of the International Journal of Coal Science & Technology (Springer), and as a Guest Editor of the International Journal of Oil, Gas and Coal Technology, Inderscience publisher. He had guest-edited a special issue on Indian Coal in the International Journal of Coal Science and Technology (Springer). He is a regular reviewer of reputed and SCI Journals in the area of coal, energy, and fuel like Chemical Engineering Journal, Energy and Fuel, Fuel, Environmental Science & Technology, Fuel Processing Technology, Powder Technology, Ultrasonics Sonochemistry, Stoten, Chemosphere, JCLP, Journal of Cleaner Production. He has also received several appreciation from Springer and Elsevier, American Chemical Society, USA, Academic Journal, Nigeria for his contributions. His pioneering development of fluorescent CQDs of Indian coal is much cheaper than imported ones and it will help reduce dependency on other countries thus bringing down the import of CQDs. He thus envisions bridging this gap in the nation’s development and prosperity through his investment in research and development with its proper implementation. |
