Dr Pranto Chakrabarty researches the design and resilience of distribution networks for low-emission energy systems at the University of Technology Sydney. His doctoral work models Australia's household hydrogen supply chain across a 2026 to 2090 horizon, establishing a phased displacement of LPG and natural gas, locating national and regional distribution infrastructure against demand, and stress-testing the network against transportation and distribution-centre failure. His research appears in Energies, Engineering Management and Cleaner Logistics and Supply Chain, with an Elsevier book chapter and an IEEE conference paper, and further work under review at the International Journal of Production Economics, the International Journal of Production Research and Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews. He reviews for the Journal of Business Logistics and Energy Economics, and has been selected into CSIRO's ON Prime and ON Translate national research translation programs.
Alongside this, he has taught more than 1,600 hours at UTS since 2023, coordinating subjects across both the Business School and the Faculty of Engineering and IT, including cohorts of more than 600 students and teaching teams of up to eleven tutors, and sustaining consistently high Student Feedback Survey outcomes.
That teaching draws on four years in Australian supply chain and retail operations before academia. At Woolworths Group he led the Metro60 and MilkRun rapid-delivery launch from concept to national scale and managed vendor replenishment across national FMCG accounts; at Ampol he held operational accountability across 18 retail sites.
