Dr. Mayank Mittal received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Michigan State University, USA in 2009. He then worked as a Post Doctoral Research Fellow at Michigan State University, and as Senior Engineer at the technical centers of Caterpillar and Generac Power Systems of USA before joining at IIT Madras.
His research interests include internal combustion engines both spark-ignition and compression-ignition types, flow and combustion diagnostics for fundamental understanding of in-cylinder processes, alternative fuels, and modeling of engine and engine components including aftertreatment devices.
PhD Dissertation Completion Fellowship (DCF) Award for Fall 2009, Graduate School, Michigan State University, USA.
National Scholarship for Undergraduate Education, Shri Bansilal Sanghvi Shikshan Prasarak Trust, Jalgaon, Maharashtra, India.
