Bharat Baruah

Bharat Baruah is a Professor of Chemistry at Kennesaw State University within the College of Science and Mathematics and Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. He serves as the Director of International Programs, fostering global collaborations in basic and translational sciences while promoting international student recruitment.

• Education: MS (1998, Dibrugarh University, India), Ph.D. (2003, Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science/Jadavpur University, India), Postdoctoral Research (2003–2008, Colorado State University, USA).

Research Interests:

• Environmental Remediation: Designing nanostructured metal oxides and plasmonic composites for photocatalytic degradation of toxic dyes under UV/visible light.
• SERS Detection: Developing gold/silver nanoparticles for ultrasensitive toxin detection at sub-micromolar/nanomolar concentrations.
• Corrosion Prevention: Creating robust coatings for aluminum alloys used in automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods.
• Transparent Wood Composites: Engineering flexible, conductive wood for sensors and energy storage devices.

Scientific Trends: His 15 most recent publications focus on metal nanoparticle synthesis, photocatalysis, SERS substrates, and environmental toxin remediation, with recurring themes in green chemistry and textile-integrated nanomaterials.

Grants & Collaborations: Research supported by unspecified organizations. He teaches courses like CHEM 3105 (Inorganic Chemistry), CHEM 1212 (General Chemistry II), and CHEM 4490/7900 (Industrial Chemistry and Entrepreneurship in Material Science).
