Prof. Sudarshan Kumar: Prof. Sudarshan Kumar joined IIT Bombay in 2006, and he is Institute Chair Professor since March 2021. He was Head of the Department, Aerospace Engineering, IIT Bombay (2020-2023). He was a visiting professor at the Space Propulsion Research Center, College of Engineering, Seoul National University, Seoul, South Korea, in 2015-2016. He worked as a postdoctoral researcher with Prof. K. Maruta in the Energy Dynamics Laboratory, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan, from 2004-2006. He received his Master's (2000) and PhD degrees (2004) from the Aerospace Engineering Department, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India, with Prof. P. J. Paul and Prof. H. S. Mukunda. His research interests include microcombustion, pattern formation of flames, laminar burning velocity measurement, flame dynamics in microchannels, numerical modeling of flame propagation, MILD/flameless combustion with gaseous, liquid fuels, and biofuels, spray combustion, lifted flames and their modeling, modeling of combustion systems, and emission reduction from combustion systems. He has successfully completed 3 international and 18 prestigious national projects along with his research team at IIT Bombay. He is an Editorial Board Member of the Defense Science Journal (2020).  

 

Prof. Kumar has authored over 300 research articles in international journals and conferences. He was selected for Marquis Who's Who in the World, 27th Edition (2009). He is the first prize winner of the SAFRAN-French Embassy Awards (2007) for his PhD thesis in the aerospace engineering field. He has been awarded the 'IIT Bombay Research Publication Award' (2022), the 'INAE Young Associate' (2013), and the 'IIT Bombay Young Investigator Award for the Year 2011' (2012). He received the prestigious Dr. Bernard Lewis Fellowship (as a bright young combustion scientist) in 2002. He is a fellow of several professional societies, including the Combustion Institute USA (2022), the
