Abhimanyu is a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering at Purdue University. His research blends elements of Sustainability Science, Industrial Ecology (IE), and Process Systems Engineering (PSE) to develop innovative methods for accurate carbon accounting. This work is crucial in designing sustainable and resilient industrial networks that promote responsible resource use and effective waste management. By exploring the environmental impacts of industrial activities, Abhimanyu aims to outline sustainable practices that industries can adopt to minimize their carbon footprints without sacrificing efficiency or productivity. His goal is to foster a broader understanding of how systems and processes can evolve towards a more sustainable and carbon-neutral future, guiding industries to operate in harmony with the environment.
