About
Dr. Chitaranjan Dalai is currently serving as a Guest Faculty in the School of Infrastructure and Planning at the Odisha University of Technology and Research Bhubaneswar. He specializes in experimental Hydraulics, density dependent flow, laboratory techniques, Groundwater, sustainable development, and saltwater intrusion. His academic and research interests focus on the density flow coupling with reactive transport are of special interests, particularly in the context of climate change and biodiversity conservation. Dr. Dalai’s teaching portfolio includes courses on Advanced numerical methods, Fluvial Hydraulics, and Groundwater Hydrology.
In addition to his teaching duties, he is actively involved in interdisciplinary research aimed the modelling of hydrological processes, the application of mathematical methods to hydrological processes, the transport of sediments in coastal areas, the interactions between aquifers and coastal environments. Dr. Dalai has collaborated with national and international organizations on projects related to numerical modelling, groundwater recharge estimation, and land use changes.
Dr. Dalai completed his Ph.D. in Water Resources Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. He holds an M.Tech in Water Resources Engineering from National Institute of Technology, Rourkela. With over 5 years of experience in the field, Dr. Dalai has authored more than 15 research papers published in peer-reviewed international journals and has presented her work at various global conferences. He has also supervised 10 master’s level theses and is an active mentor to doctoral candidates, focusing on Environmental issues, water flow, and the impact of climate change.
