Please join us in welcoming Kaustav Bera, Ph.D., to the Davidson School of Chemical Engineering at Purdue University as an assistant professor!

Bera’s research combines biomaterials, organoids and advanced tissue models to study how physical forces influence cell behavior, tissue function and diseases such as cancer. His work aims to advance new approaches in regenerative medicine, drug discovery and therapeutic development.

Prior to Purdue, Bera conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Colorado Boulder and earned his Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University after completing his undergraduate education at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

We are excited to welcome him to Purdue Chemical Engineering and look forward to the impact of his research, teaching and mentorship.
