Dr. Jadav Chandra Mandal holds the position of senior professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India. He obtained his bachelor’s degree in Aeronautical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur in 1982, followed by a master’s in Aerospace Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras in 1984. Subsequently, he served as a scientist at the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Indian Space Research Organization, from 1984 to 1985. Dr. Mandal completed his doctoral studies in Aerospace Engineering at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, in 1990, before assuming a faculty position at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. His research group primarily focuses on pioneering numerical algorithms for tackling both single and multi-phase incompressible flows, alongside all Mach number compressible fluid flows, and fluid-structure interaction. In recent times, his team has been actively involved in advancing Riemann solvers for the analysis of deformation and wave propagation in solids. Dr. Mandal has been honored with prestigious awards including the J. R. D. Tata Fellowship at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (1987-1990), and the Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship in Germany (2002-2003).
