Biography

Dr Archishman Bose is an Eli Lilly Lecturer in Process and Chemical Engineering, University College Cork (UCC) and is a Principal Investigator (PI) of the Circular Economy, Energy, and Environmental Systems (CEEES) Research Group, part of MaREI, the Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) research centre for energy, climate and marine. Dr Bose completed his PhD in Engineering in 2022 on Photosynthetic Biogas Upgrading, co-funded by SFI and Gas Networks Ireland (GNI). This work resulted in the publication of 7 peer-reviewed journal papers (2 under review) on topics such as optimisation of bubble column operations and multi-criteria performance assessment of the production of biomethane with food and biofertiliser. His other qualifications include a Double Degree Masters in Sustainable Energy Engineering, with a special focus on innovation, entrepreneurship and academic-industry collaborative research and a bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering. In addition, Dr Bose also has a couple of years of work experience as a construction and commissioning engineer and piping design engineer in a world-leading industrial and medical gas manufacturing establishment.

Dr Bose has an h-index of 9 and has published 16 peer-reviewed academic journal papers in top tier journals such as; Biotechnology Advances and Chemical Engineering Journal. His expertise and research interest lies in: biochemical and bioprocess engineering, biopharmaceuticals, process design and simulation, carbon capture and utilisation, design of experiments, techno-economic (TEA) and life cycle assessments (LCA); circular bioeconomy systems.

Teaching Activities

Teaching Interests

Since joining as a lecturer in Process and Chemical Engineering, I have worked on continuous development and delivery of the Process Design and Feasibility Analysis (PE3016) and the Advanced Separation Processes (PE6035) modules to BE and ME students. I also coordinate multiple modules taught by industry lectures (PE4016 - Pharmaceutical Process Validation and PE6032 - Pharmaceutical Industry Advances and Developments). Furthermore, I coordinate the Process and Chemical Engineering final year masters thesis research module (PE6050) and act as the year tutor to 5th year students in Process and Chemical Engineering

To date, I have supervised and mentored multiple masters thesis research projects including for PE6050 (8 students); ME6019 (2 students) and NE6009 (1 student). I am also co-supervising 7 PhD students. 

My teaching Interests & Abilities include:
  • Advanced biochemical, bioprocesses and bioenergy technologies and processes. 
  • Microalgae cultivation and applications in advanced biorefinery for the production of food/feed, biochemicals, biopharmaceuticals and bioenergy. 
  • Green chemistry and circular economy for sustainable industrial processes and industrial symbiosis. 
  • Product and process optimisation strategies using design of experiments and statistical analyses. 
  • Process design, simulation and optimisation using software such as ASPEN Plus and SuperPro. 
  • Techno-economic and lifecycle assessments of products and processes. 
  • Multi-criteria decision analysis for industrial symbiosis and low-carbon and sustainable industrial ecosystem. 
  • General bioprocess laboratory techniques such as microalgae cultivation and assessment, anaerobic digestion and fermentation and assessment of gas and lipid compositions using chromatography. 
  • Renewable energy systems and processes
