Dr. Dibakar “DB” Bhattacharyya began his teaching career at UK in 1969. Throughout his tenure, he has educated and mentored hundreds of students who have gone on to make significant contributions to the field of chemical engineering.

Now is the time to honor the man who helped shape generations of successful chemical engineers.

Join us in raising $1 Million to create the Dibakar Bhattacharyya Undergraduate Excellence Fund. This endowment will support Department of Chemical Engineering initiatives closest to DB’s heart. What a perfect way to recognize DB’s extraordinary impact over more than 50 years!

Every donor to the DB Fundraising Challenge will have their name added to a printed Honor Book.  You can upload a favorite quote or classroom memory or a photo with DB using the link below.

Contributors of $10,000 or more (payable over 5 years) will have their name added to “DB’s Honor Roll,” a commemorative plaque honoring DB’s legacy, which will be proudly displayed in the Unit Operations Laboratory, DB’s classroom home.

Your gift will help honor DB’s legacy and leadership.
