Debanik worked on CFD-based simulations of high-temperature reformers and combustion chambers. His interest lies in the optimization of reactor and combustion units by thermal and hydrodynamic analysis. He published a journal paper in "Chemical Engineering Research and Design" and a few conference papers so far. He got a PhD offer from Washington State University (USA).

Anindya is jointly being supervised by Prof. K C Ghanta and Dr. A. Hens. He is currently working on molecular dynamics based simulations. He is investigating the nanochannel flow of ionic solutions in the presence of an electric field. After completeing 3rd semester he got a job offer from Saint Gobain along with an final semester internship. 

Sudeshna completed B.Tech-M.Tech Dual Degree in 2022 and got a PhD offer from Ohio State University (USA). She worked on computational fluid dynamics based simulations. As a part of her B.tech project, she completed the study of a chlorination contact tank. As a part of M.Tech project, she did CFD based analysis associated to the leakage of sub-sea pipelines. She has published one paper in Materials Today Proceedings and a couple of conference papers. 

Arghya has worked on OpenFoam (an open source CFD solver). He  investigated the multiphase flow inside a bent pipeline. He attempted to understand the Taylor bubble flow through the porous media as well. He is currently doing PhD at IIT Kharagpur

Rahul completed his M.Tech in Chemical Engineering from the Department in 2020. In his MTech thesis, he has studied growth and dynamics of vapor bubble using CFD. He has attempted to employ phase field method to study film boiling. He has received an offer to join TCE (Tata Consulting Engineers). Email ID: rahulkumarhost12.rk@gmail.com

Niraj completed his MTech from Department of Mechanical Engineering, NIT Durgapur in 2019. His MTech project was jointly supervised by Dr. Shantanu Pramanik and Dr. Abhiram Hens. He worked on CFD based investigation of 'Microfluidic Thermophoresis'. Presently, he is pursuing PhD in IIT Delhi.

Nanoparticle/nanostructure structure-based drug & neutraceuticals delivery

After completing Ph.D in 2022, Shilpi joined Tridiagonal Solution Pvt. Ltd., Pune (India) as Senior Project Engineer. Shilpi has completed B.Tech and M.Tech in Chemical Engineering from Calcutta University and completed PhD from the Department of Chemical Engineering of NIT Durgapur. Shilpi worked in the area of CFD and Molecular Dynamics based simulations. She investigated the dynamics of nanodroplet as well as multiphase flow inside microchannels. She published two papers in Chemical Engineering Science journal which details the deformation behavior of ionic nanodroplet in presene of external electric field (Chatterjee et. al., Chemical Engineering Science 229 (2021) 116143, and 247(2022), 117083). She has completed another work which deals with Taylor flow inside spiral microchannel and it was published in the journal of Chemical Engineering research and Design (Vol. 165, pp. 398). email: sc.16ch1101@phd.nitdgp.ac.in, shilpichemeng781@gmail.com
