As a member of our lab, you will work at the intersection of computational modelling and experimental validation. We are committed to our scholars' global development, offering potential opportunities for international lab visits through our global collaborations. By tackling challenges rooted in real-world industrial applications, our scholars contribute to meaningful scientific progress while building a robust professional foundation. 

For Post-doctoral Positions

We invite applications from researchers seeking high-impact post-doctoral opportunities. Our group provides a collaborative environment for both Institute-funded fellows at IIT Kharagpur and those supported by external grants, such as ANRF-NPDF or UGC fellowships. If you are passionate about advancing science through rigorous research in thermo-fluids, please share your CV with me to explore potential projects and funding pathways.

For UG/PG Students

Our group offers dedicated research pathways for B.Tech and M.Tech students looking to commit to substantive projects. While we do not offer short-term or seasonal internships, we highly encourage undergraduate and postgraduate scholars to contact us regarding long-term research collaborations. Such long-term collaboration will lead to some meaningful output for the benefit of students and organisations. These positions are available through both remote and in-person formats, focusing on deep academic engagement. If you are prepared for a long-term research journey, please forward your CV and a statement of interest to begin the conversation. 

We welcome enquiries from first-year M.Tech students for summer internships, particularly those intending to pursue a long-term research career. This opportunity is specifically designed for students considering a PhD within our group following their master's studies. 

Candidates interested in joining the TFDO Lab should send their CV to prashant@mech.iitkgp.ac.in.
