Rate My Professor Madhujit Deb

Madhujit Deb is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the National Institute of Technology Agartala. His research centers on internal combustion engines, with a focus on performance, combustion, and emission characteristics of compression ignition engines using hydrogen in dual-fuel mode and biodiesel blends such as palm oil biodiesel. He utilizes experimental investigations combined with optimization techniques like Taguchi-fuzzy, hybrid ANN-fuzzy, NSGA II coupled with TOPSIS, and Pareto-based genetic algorithms to optimize performance-emission trade-offs. His work contributes to sustainable fuel alternatives and emission reduction strategies in diesel engines.

Deb has published extensively in prestigious journals, with highly cited papers including 'A comprehensive study on prospects of economy, environment, and efficiency of palm oil biodiesel as a renewable fuel' (Journal of Cleaner Production, 2021), 'An experimental study on combustion, performance and emission analysis of a single cylinder, 4-stroke DI-diesel engine using hydrogen in dual fuel mode of operation' (International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 2015), 'A hybrid ANN-Fuzzy approach for optimization of engine operating parameters of a CI engine fueled with diesel-palm biodiesel-ethanol blend' (Energy, 2020), 'Multi objective optimization of performance parameters of a single cylinder diesel engine running with hydrogen using a Taguchi-fuzzy based approach' (Energy, 2013), and 'An experimental investigation of performance-emission trade off characteristics of a CI engine using hydrogen as dual fuel' (Energy, 2015). He serves as Principal Investigator for the SERB-funded project 'Predictive Control of RCCI Engine Performance and Emissions using Artificial Intelligence (AI)' (2023-2026). Deb holds a B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering from NERIST and a Ph.D. in Thermal Science and Engineering from NIT Agartala.
