Joydeep Bhowmik Assistant professor , Aerospace Engineering and Applied Mechanics IIEST Shibpur
About me:
I joined the Department of Aerospace and Applied Mechanics, IIEST Shibpur, in 2018 with a passion for innovation-driven research and product development. My work blends system integration, reverse engineering, and manufacturing to tackle real-world aerospace challenges. I promote a sportive, innovative mindset among students and enjoy designing and flying model aircraft, UAVs, and ornithopters. A highlight of my work is a novel flapping-wing UAV design, reflecting my commitment to aerodynamics and hands-on innovation.
