Alivia Mukherjee

Dr. Alivia Mukherjee is a senior consultant at Anthesis Canada (Consulting) Inc. and a recognized sustainability expert with a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Saskatchewan. Her work centers on biochar production and its applictions in environmental remediation, including post-combustion CO2 capture. She has extensive expertise in activated carbon development, material characterization, carbon dioxide removal, process simulation, optimization, and the creation of innovative functional carbon materials for environmental solutions.

During her tenure as a postdoctoral fellow, at the University of Alberta, Department of Mechanical Engineering, her research integrated advanced tools such as process simulation, artificial intelligence, and life cycle assessment (LCA) to tackle challenges related to sustainability, and environmental pollution. She has authored more than 15 peer-reviewed articles, multiple book chapters, and edited two books. Her ground-breaking research on post-combustion CO2 capture using activated carbon derived from spent coffee grounds has earned her numerous prestigious local and international awards.
