About

Pratim Biswas is a researcher whose work sits at a compelling intersection of aerosol science, environmental sensing, and space exploration science. His research focuses on particulate matter (PM) characterization, low-cost sensor development, and the behavior of fine and ultrafine particles in both terrestrial and extraterrestrial environments. One of his most notable contributions examines the size and charge distribution of simulated lunar dust, providing critical insights relevant to the safety and operational planning of future lunar missions — work that has garnered 12 citations since its 2021 publication. Biswas has also advanced the practical deployment of miniaturized PM sensors, demonstrating their viability when mounted on mobile robotic platforms for real-world environmental aerosol measurements, a study cited 8 times. His more recent work on calibrating low-cost optical sensors for detecting lofted lunar dust reflects a forward-looking vision, bridging affordable air quality monitoring technologies with the unique challenges of the lunar environment. Collectively, his research addresses both Earth-bound air quality gaps and emerging needs in space exploration, making his work valuable to environmental scientists, aerospace engineers, and instrumentation researchers alike.
