A resident of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Sayan Biswas, PhD, is an entrepreneur, researcher, and technology strategist whose career spans academia, industry, and federal policy. Sayan Biswas, PhD, leads clean energy startup TerraCare Energy and has developed SkyWindFarm, a modular airborne wind energy system that can operate at altitudes of up to 5,000 feet. The innovative system can serve the needs of data centers as well as energy-intensive rural, off-grid systems.

Sayan Biswas, PhD, earned his doctorate in aerospace engineering at Purdue University, where his work on advanced combustion systems combined experimental testing and computational modeling. He later joined Praxair Inc., where he applied this expertise to the development of high-efficiency industrial combustion and turbo machinery technologies.

After Praxair, Sayan Biswas, PhD, joined Sandia National Laboratories as a postdoctoral appointee, conducting optical engine studies and creating a plasma ignition system that delivered measurable gains in fuel economy and efficiency. As a science and technology policy fellow at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Sayan Biswas, PhD, helped accelerate the commercialization of emerging technologies in critical materials, nuclear energy, and artificial intelligence.

Moreover, Sayan Biswas, PhD, is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and Society of Automotive Engineers. He is a grant reviewer for the DOE, a journal reviewer for Applied Physics, and has spoken at events organized by professional engineering associations.
