Praveen Linga is a professor at the National University of Singapore's Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. He is also the co-founder of NewGen Gas Pte Ltd[1], a spin-off company that specializes in solidified natural gas (SNG) technology via clathrate hydrates for natural gas storage and transport.

Educational background

Linga was born on April 21, 1979 in Chennai, India. His father was an agriculturist. During his primary years of education, up to 3rd standard, he went to St. Mary's Home Matriculation School in Kothagiri, Tamil Nadu, India.

Linga obtained his Bachelor of Technology degree in Chemical Engineering from Sri Ram Engineering College affiliated to the University of Madras in 2000. Then he went on to pursue his Master of Technology degree at Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur and graduated in 2002. In 2004, he joined the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at The University of British Columbia to pursue his doctoral studies. Under the supervision of Professor Peter Englezos, he obtained his doctoral degree in 2009. He did his Postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at The University of British Columbia for a year (2009-2010). He was the first in his family's lineage to pursue post graduation in education.

Career

In 2010, he started his academic career at the National University of Singapore (NUS) as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering specializing in gas hydrates technology. In 2016, he was appointed as an Associate Professor with tenure and in 2019, he was appointed as the Dean's Chair Associate Professor.[2] He is also a visiting professor of Guangzhou Institute of Energy Conversion[3] Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou, PR China and a visiting guest professor of Harbin Engineering University,[4] PR China.

He is a licensed Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) in Singapore. He also serves as a scientific editor in various engineering journals

  • Subject Editor: Applied Energy (Elsevier)[5]
  • Associate Editor: Journal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering (Elsevier)[6]
  • Editorial Advisory Board Member: Energy & Fuels (ACS Publisher)[7]
  • Editorial Advisory Board Member: Fluid Phase Equilibria (Elsevier)[8]

Research areas

Linga's research interests are in the areas of clathrate hydrate or gas hydrate, energy storage, carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) and energy recovery. His targeted applications are seawater desalination, gas storage, data center cooling and carbon capture & storage. A part of his research is also focused on energy recovery from methane hydrate, which is considered as a huge energy resource for natural gas.

Honours and awards

In 2018 Clarivate Analytics named him as one of the World's Most Influential Scientific Minds[9] and Highly Cited Researchers in Engineering.[10] He is one of the recipients of the SCEJ Award for Outstanding Asian Researcher and Engineer in 2020.[11] This prestigious award is given annually to individuals who have accomplished outstanding achievements in chemical engineering in Asia by the Society of Chemical Engineers, Japan (SCEJ).[12] In 2017, he was awarded the Donald W. Davidson Award at the 9th International Conference on Gas Hydrates (ICGH9) held in Denver USA for his outstanding contributions to gas hydrate research.[13][14] He was awarded the prestigious Young Researcher Award (YRA) in NUS in 2017.[15] He is an elected fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry in United Kingdom.[16][17]
