Dr. Dudul Das has finished his PhD on “Development of an efficient photovoltaic thermal collector”, in December 2020. His research is of interdisciplinary nature, and he is keen to investigate the underlying mechanisms of various complex phenomena in TES systems from different perspectives by means of theoretical, numerical and experimental techniques.  He was a teaching assistant for several courses (Solar Energy Conversion Technology, Renewable Energy Systems, and Fundamental of Energy Engineering) in IIT Guwahati, India. He serves as a reviewer of several international journals.

Dr. Das is an enthusiastic researcher with great passion for thermal energy storage and renewable energy. His Bachelor’s and master’s degree theses were focused on IC engine and solar thermal engineering, while his PhD project was on thermal engineering and solar energy, which is a very challenging and highly multidisciplinary topic. He mastered the fundamentals of thermodynamics, heat transfer, solar energy, material sciences, for his PhD project in a short period of time. After 5 years of doctoral training, he has developed himself into an excellent researcher in the area of thermal sciences and solar energy engineering. He has demonstrated himself as one of the most talented doctoral students in the School of Energy Science and Engineering, IIT Guwahati, evidenced by the Best Thesis Award he received.
