Sustainable Advanced Technologies for Environmental Management

Prof. Debabrata Mazumder did his Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering from Jadavpur University in 1993 and 1996 respectively. He received his Ph.D. Degree in Civil Engineering (Environmental Engineering Specialization) from Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur (presently Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur) in 2004. He has a total 31 Years of industrial, teaching and research experience. He published more than 160 technical papers and 11 Book Chapters in various national and international journals and conference proceedings. He has co-authored 1 Reference Book and edited 2 Proceedings Book in the Springer Nature. He is the Member of American Water Works Association (AWWA) and the Member of International Water Association (IWA). He is also the Life Fellow of Institution of Engineers (India) (IE, India), as well as Indian Water Works Association (IWWA, India) and Institution of Public Health Engineers (India) (IPHE, India).  He is as a Consultant in National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) and National River Conservation Directorate (NRCD) under Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change, Government of India. He has been granted Five Indian Patents in the field of wastewater treatment and disposal. He is presently serving as the Professor of Civil Engineering Department, Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur. He was also the Dean (Students’ Welfare) in the same institute for 3 Years since 2019.
