Adarsh Suresh is an Assistant Instructional Professor at the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago. He teaches polymer science, transport phenomena, and engineering design, and is developing a new graduate-level electrochemistry laboratory for the Energy & Sustainability track. The lab provides hands-on training in electrochemical instrumentation, experimental methods, and data analysis through problem-based, experiment-driven modules.
Adarsh received his PhD in Molecular Engineering from the University of Chicago and holds undergraduate degrees in Chemical Engineering and Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In addition to teaching, he contributes to course development, mentors engineering design teams, and is actively involved in community outreach and engagement through hands-on science and engineering programs.
