India's leading engineering and science institute on the Powai campus in Mumbai, where research runs from machine learning to monsoon physics.
10 professors and academic leaders celebrated so far, cited on every card. A small, growing selection, not a roster of the faculty. In pursuit of every professor, everywhere.
Director
Department of Energy Science and Engineering
Thank you for three decades of building concentrated solar thermal technology that Indian industry actually uses, and for leading IIT Bombay since May 2024 with a maker's humility.
Professor
Department of Computer Science and Engineering
Thank you for teaching machines to read and translate Indian languages, from WordNets to cognitive NLP, and for mentoring a whole generation of language technology researchers in India.
Professor
Department of Computer Science and Engineering
Thank you for a career of making machines learn from messy real-world data, and for founding IIT Bombay's machine intelligence centre so that work could multiply.
K. N. Bajaj Chair Professor
Department of Electrical Engineering
Thank you for steering IIT Bombay through five demanding years as Director from 2019 to 2024, while your work in computer vision and haptics kept setting the research bar.
Professor
Department of Biosciences and Bioengineering
Thank you for point-of-care diagnostics that bring lab-grade tests to a village doorstep, and for proving with 80-plus patents that world-class biomedical engineering can be affordable.
Institute Chair Professor
Department of Civil Engineering
Thank you for decoding the Indian monsoon and bringing climate science down to the scale of a district, so that adaptation decisions can rest on real physics.
Professor
Department of Chemistry
Thank you for teaching palladium and light to activate bonds chemists once called untouchable, and for training a generation of catalysis researchers in India.
Professor
Department of Mechanical Engineering
Thank you for microfluidic devices that separate blood plasma on a chip, and for pursuing fluid mechanics all the way from rarefied gases to devices a clinic can afford.
Professor
Department of Computer Science and Engineering and CTARA
Thank you for carrying computer science to the taluka level, turning village water schemes and land-record maps into rigorous engineering problems worth a professor's whole attention.
Professor
Department of Computer Science and Engineering
Thank you for a lifetime of opening computing to everyone, from the Aakash tablet to distance classrooms that trained teachers by the hundred thousand.
