Concentrating our Energies
Chemical and biomolecular engineering professor Bhavik Bakshi has always wondered why human beings don’t seem to care enough about the systems — specifically along ecological lines — that sustain us.
“I grew up in India watching forests being destroyed, so this question has nagged me since I was a child,” says Bakshi, whose research at Ohio State focuses on the life-cycle analysis of energy and the environment. “Also, I was an undergraduate in chemical engineering when the Bhopal accident occurred.”
