Dr. Sanghasri Mukhopadhyay earned her PhD in Energy and Process Engineering from Université Savoie Mont Blanc, France, in 2020, supported by the French Government Doctoral Fellowship. She conducted research at CNRS, Laboratoire LOCIE before returning to India, where she held positions at IIT Madras and VIT Vellore.
Her expertise lies in mathematical modeling and numerical simulations of complex fluid flow phenomena, particularly thin-film hydrodynamics and instabilities. A prolific researcher, she has published extensively in renowned international journals, contributing significantly to the field of fluid dynamics.
Warm welcome to Prof. Aswin Kannan to IIIT-B Family: A New Chapter of Excellence Begins
Prof. Aswin Kannan holds a Doctorate from Penn State (Advisor: Dr. Uday Shanbhag), a Masters from Univ. of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (both in the US), and a Bachelors from College of Engineering Guindy (India). Prior to joining IIIT Bangalore, he worked for Humboldt Universitaet zu Berlin in the Mathematics department as a faculty member (Group Leader). Even earlier, he had worked for IBM Research (India, 2015-2021), Oracle Analytics (Boston, US, 2014-2015), and Argonne National Labs (Chicago, US, 2010-2012). His research interests fall at the intersection of multiobjective optimization and machine learning. From an applications standpoint, these cover domains from energy systems, imaging and retail to portfolio analytics and compliance.
