He carried out his research studies at the Institute of Metallurgy in Moscow and the Building Research Establishment in the United Kingdom. His research work encompassed metal refining slags, phase equilibrium studies of the oxy-fluoride systems, cement manufacturing processes, development of blended and special-purpose cements, refractory cements and products, ready-mixed concrete production, cement and concrete materials science and chemistry, and restoration and renovation of concrete structures. Professionally, Dr. Chatterjee started his career as a faculty member of the Materials Science Center of Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India, and later moved to Cement Research Institute of India (now National Council of Cement and Building Materials), New Delhi, and then to Associated Cement Companies Limited (now ACC Limited), Mumbai, from where he retired as its Whole-time Executive Director. In the post-retirement period, he created a consulting outfit known as Conmat Technologies Private Limited and has been engaged in providing technical support services to the cement, concrete and mineral industries in India and abroad in various capacities. In addition, Dr. Chatterjee has been on various international assignments with UNIDO and other organizations. Dr. Chatterjee is a fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering, Indian Concrete Institute, and Indian Ceramic Institute. He is on the editorial boards of international journals such as 'Cement and Concrete Research' and 'Cement Wapno Beton'. He has been conferred lifetime achievement awards by the Indian Concrete Institute, Association of Consulting Civil Engineers, Confederation of Indian Industries, and Cement Manufacturers Association of India. Amongst his numerous technical publications the most note-worthy are the books on 'Cement Production Technology: Principles and Practice', and 'Intelligent and Sustainable Cement Production: Transforming to Industry 4.0 Standard' published by the CRC Press of Taylor & Francis Group, USA. He has many awards to his credit.
