Mita Ray

Mita Ray is a Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering at Western University, Canada. Her research bridges advanced water treatment technologies and environmental modeling, focusing on pollution reduction and pollutant fate analysis.

• Education: PhD in Environmental Engineering (University of Minnesota), MTech in Chemical Engineering (IIT Kanpur), BSc in Chemistry and BTech in Chemical Engineering (University of Calcutta)

Current research areas include:

• Advanced Treatment Technologies: Photocatalytic systems (TiO2, ZnO), membrane processes, bioassays, and lignin-based foams for pollution control.
• Environmental Modeling: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for reactor design, kinetics in anaerobic digestion, and UV disinfection systems.

Her recent publications highlight trends in electrochemical phosphate removal, waste-to-energy conversion, bio-based materials, and pollutant-cancer pathway interactions. Professional roles include organizing international symposia and chairing the CFI Innovation Fund committee.
