Arijit Ganguli
Assistant Professor
PhD (Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai)
+91.79.61911167
Research Interests: Computational Fluid Dynamics Of Multiphase Flows, Process Modelling, Process Equipment Design And Optimisation, Providing Technical Support To Industrial Plants.
Professor Ganguli received his PhD from the Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai. He has more than eight years of experience in the chemical industry and has worked across the breadth of the domain, with projects spanning computational fluid dynamics of multiphase flows, process modelling, process equipment design and optimisation, plant support for extractive systems and some commodity chemical processes. He has received a number of laurels for his work, including the Abhaynkar Award in ICT, Mumbai and the Patent Award in the Saudi Arabia Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC). He has about 18 international publications in such journals as Chemical Engineering Science, Chemical Engineering Research and Design, American Insitute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), and Physics of Fluids. He has already amassed 250 citations to his publications. He is also a member of Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers and American Chemical Society.
He began his career as a post-doctoral researcher with the University of Paderborn, Germany. There, he worked on model development for mass transfer across interfaces and droplet coalescence. Subsequently, he joined the Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland, Technoforce Solutions, Mumbai and SABIC R&D, Bangalore before joining Ahmedabad University. At Technoforce Solutions Ltd he worked in optimizing process equipment using computational fluid dynamics: for instance, in impeller designs for pumps, optimization of liquid-liquid extractors etc. At SABIC (a petrochemical giant) Professor Ganguli was part of a team for developing integrated process models, kinetic models and separation column models for existing processes like isomerization, dehydrogenation and etherification; as well as providing plant support.
