Benu Chatterjee
Graduated in both science (Chemistry) and engineering (Metallurgy), I also gained a Ph.D. in Metallurgy (London University). Based on my academic qualifications supplemented by experience in both academia and industry over thirty years, I have acquired some in-depth knowledge in science and technology. My research work has led to over fifty scientific publications in international journals such as Nature, Metallurgical Transactions, Chemical Physics, Materials Chemistry and Physics, Corrosion Science etc.
I am curious about various aspects of science and technology. I specialize in materials chemistry, environmental issues and surface treatment of metals and alloys. Apart from research papers, the initial concept of any of my eighteen articles has always come from television documentaries, books, magazines etc supplemented by the spirit of free thinking. Articles are written in two parts (some can be seen in “benu-chatterjee.suite101.com”). Part 1 is based on science and nature (13 articles) while five articles are presented on materials and technology in Part 2. Articles are written in an endeavour to emphasize the importance of understanding the mechanics of how science and engineering and also scientists and engineers function in our increasingly technological world since the early days of humans.
I am also a freelance reviewer of books covering a range of topics in natural science (chemistry and physics) – some of the reviews can be seen on website as “Books reviewed by Dr.Benu Chatterjee FIMMM”.
