Dr Purabi Bhagabati, MSc, MTech, PhD
I am a polymer scientist and Principal Investigator based at Dublin City University. My research focuses on sustainable polymer science, with expertise in polyethylene furanoate (PEF), ring opening polymerization, and circular materials design. I lead the PEForm project funded under the Research Ireland Pathway Programme.
With over a decade of experience in polymer chemistry, my research has published extensively in high-impact journals and holds several patents in sustainable materials. My work bridges fundamental research with industrial applications, aiming to reduce the environmental impact of plastics through innovative, bio-based alternatives.
