Cryogenics pro designs systems to be used on-site, in labs around the world
Ritendra Bhattacharya is known for keeping things cool—cold, really. As deputy department head of the Cryogenics department at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, Bhattacharya leads the cryogenics engineering group and helps to maintain the five cryogenics plants operating throughout the lab.
Each cryogenic plant serves a unique function and needs to be operative 24/7 and 365 days a year using an unsupervised computer control system.
