Who we are looking for

We work at the meeting point of chemical kinetics, reactor modelling and experimental combustion. Students with a background in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, chemistry or physics are all a good fit. Comfort with programming — Python or MATLAB — helps in almost every project in the group.

PhD applicants

Admission is through the Department of Chemical Engineering at IIT Delhi and follows the institute's regular admission cycles. Please apply through the institute in addition to writing to Prof. Raj.

Master's and B.Tech. project students

Students already at IIT Delhi are welcome to write with a short note on which of the laboratory's research directions interests them.

How to write to us

Email raj@iitd.ac.in with:

  • a CV, including your academic record
  • a short paragraph on which research direction interests you and why
  • the names of two referees

A specific message referring to a particular paper or theme is far more useful than a generic one, and is much more likely to get a reply.
