Sourav Mondal did his PhD from IIT Kharagpur (2015) on mass transport phenomena related to filtration systems. Thereafter he had a post-doctoral stint at the mathematical institute of Oxford University (UK) working on advanced fluid flow problems in engineering. Currently he is the assistant professor at the chemical engineering in IIT Kharagpur. His current research interests are broadly in the domain of fluid dynamics and transport phenomena, related to flow in porous medium, membrane filtration, computational fluid dynamics and mass transport in separation systems. He has authored 50 international peer reviewed journal publications and 3 monographs. He is the recipient of INAE Young Engineers Award in 2021. He was awarded the Oxford University (UK) vice-chancellor innovation award in 2018.
