Krishna Deo Prasad Nigam (born 1947), known as KDP Nigam, is an Indian researcher in the field of chemical engineering. He was a professor of chemical engineering at IIT Delhi,[1] then head of the department from 1999 to 2002.[2] One of his major contributions was to create a new lab for advancement of science, and which even today continues to contribute to the scientific community globally.[citation needed]
Early life and education
Nigam was born on January 1, 1947, in Kanpur.
He attended Harcourt Butler Technological University, where he received a Bachelor of Science in chemical engineering in 1969, as well as a Master of Science in 1971. In 1976, he received a Doctor of Philosophy in chemical engineering from the Institute of Chemical Technology.
Academic career
Further, he has also worked on several promising possibilities to develop cleaner and greener technologies and energy-efficient innovative devices.
Over the last few years, the coiled flow inverter CFI technology has been researched by different schools for many applications such as micro reactors, continuous crystallizer, photo-catalytic reactors, intensification of Bio-diesel production and continuous production of nanoparticles. The University of Adelaide, Australia has proposed CFI for the extraction of metals on moon surface in the year 2020 and has been listed at NASA site as “Moon dust Tablet Space Mission” The device has attracted the attention of both academia as well as industry all across the globe. CFI has received a global attention which resulted in publication from 50 institutions across 18 different countries for different applications.
Nigam has made impactful contributions in the field of Science and Technology. He has done this through his numerous publications in prestigious international Journals, by writing books and chapters on Chemical Engineering, his collaborations with the industry to bring science to reality, his collaboration with several universities internationally, and through his students who continue to be inspired by him. He has been visiting Professor in many international schools in France, Germany, Australia, UK, US, China, South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and Mexico. He was also Adjunct Professor at Concordia University, Montreal, Canada; at ISM Dhanbad and served as a Distinguished Professor at ITESM, Monterrey, Mexico.
