Prof. Aniruddha B. Pandit (Sir J.C Bose Fellow, Govt of India) is currently Vice Chancellor of Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai and is a foundation member of the scientific advisory committee of Prasinos Tech Innovations Pvt. Ltd. He earned his B. Tech (Chem) degree from Indian Institute of Technology(IIT), Banaras Hindu University in 1980 and earned his Ph.D. (Tech) degree from University Department of Chemical Technology (now ICT), in 1984. From 1984 till 1990 he worked in the Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom as a Research Assistant & then as a Research Associate with Prof. J. F. Davidson, working in the area of bubble break-up and design of multiphase reactors. He developed many novel designs of gas-liquid contactors and also developed new impeller designs. He was instrumental in starting a major activity & program in the area of Hydrodynamic Cavitation for intensification of physical and chemical processing applications, post return to India in 1990. He has successfully exploited the cavitation phenomena for a variety of operations such as crystallization, emulsification, nano-particle synthesis and processes such as esterification, oxidation etc on industrial scale. He has been an active industrial consultant for many large size national and international companies. A unique creative approach of using fundamental knowledge, coupled with simple, elegant experiments has resulted into novel cavitational reactors. Prof. Pandit has authored over 418 research publications, 5 books and over 12 chapters (with over 30000 citations)and has 15 patents & is on the Editorial board of five International Scientific Journals. He has guided 51 PhD’s and 92 master’s students so far. He is actively involved in working with committees in the area of harnessing solar energy & with tribal population in extending the chemical engineering principles for drying of farm/ forest product & water disinfection for potable water. He is a president of a NGO named Land Research Institute dealing with the Energy and Town planning sector. He has successfully guided and completed many international science collaborations with Universities from France, Australia and The Netherlands. He is also on the project appraisal and evaluation committees of the DST and UGC, Govt of India. In addition, he is currently serving as a member of the Board Of Governors of the IIT Bombay. In recognition of his work, he has been awarded ISTE National award for outstanding research, 1995, Prof. R.A. Rajadyaksha Best Teacher award, on 15 occasions in the past 20 years, VASVIK award, 1996, Fellow, Maharashtra Academy of Science 1997, IIChE - Herdilia award for excellence in basic research, 2001, Distinguished Alumnus award, Institute of Technology-Banaras Hindu University, 2004, Distinguished Alumnus award, UICT, 2008, INSA, Best Teacher award, 2012, Vishwakarma Medal of Indian National Science Academy 2015, Indian Chemical Council (ICC), Life time achievement award 2021, Fellowships of, Maharashtra Academy of Sciences,1997, Indian National Academy of Engineering, 2006, Indian Academy of Sciences, 2008, Indian National Science Academy, 2009, National Academy of Sciences in India, 2009, Fellow of The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) 2015.
