Research Areas

My research lie in the areas of supersonic and hypersonic aerodynamics. I actively work in the field of Shock-Wave/Boundary-Layer Interactions and Supersonic Jet Control and Acoustics, where investigation of flow control is the prime focus. I have established a Supersonic Jet Research Laboratory (SJRL) at IIT Kharagpur to solve real-life problems related to high-speed aerodynamics. To achieve the above ideals, I believe in teamwork where students play a crucial role. I always present a research problem, keeping the students' interests in mind to foster their innovative thinking and career growth.
