Short Bio
Nilanjan received his B.E (Mechanical Engineering) and M. Tech (Energy Science and Technology) from Jadavpur University. Then he was appointed as an assistant professor at the Mechanical Engineering department, Brainware Group of Institutions. Afterwards, he joined IIT Kharagpur as a research scholar. He defended his PhD thesis "Unravelling Non-intuitive Links between Bulk and Interfaces for Fluids at Micro and Nanoscale" in 2024. He is currently Appointed as a research associate in the project "Molecular Understanding of the Deposition of Gas Mixture in Semiconductor Equipments" jointly sponsored by Lam Research and IIT Kharagpur. His broad objective lies in contributing to the future water-energy nexus and healthcare systems from the fluid mechanics perspective.
