Dr. Sanyal received her Ph.D in Chemical Engineering from Michigan State University (2016) and B.E in Chemical Engineering from Manipal University, India (2011). Her doctoral research with Prof. Ilsoon Lee focussed on developing polyelectrolyte multilayer membranes for ion rejection and effluent treatment. Following her PhD, she moved to Georgia Tech for postdoctoral research with Prof. William J. Koros. During this time, Dr. Sanyal worked on understanding and analyzing some of the critical fundamental features of carbon molecular sieve membranes for gas separation. She joined the CBE department at WVU in 2020 and her current research program aims to revolutionize the industrial separations landscape using advanced membranes as the platform.
