Ranjan Sasti Charan Pal

Ranjan Sasti Charan Pal is a dedicated academician and a researcher specializing in mechanical engineering. He obtained his BE degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Maharashtra Institute of Technology, Pune in 2015. Moving further in his academic career, he completed his MTech in Machine Design at the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Durgapur, where he graduated as a Gold Medallist in 2018.

Driven by his commitment towards academics, Ranjan enrolled in the prestigious Ph.D. program at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur. His doctoral research focuses on fault diagnosis and prognosis of electrical systems. He has published research papers in peer-reviewed journals and presented his findings at national and international conferences. Following the submission of his Ph.D. thesis, Ranjan joined NAMTECH as an Assistant Professor in the field of Smart Manufacturing.

Before embarking on his doctoral studies, Ranjan gained valuable industrial experience as a Productivity Improvement Engineer at Sandvik Asia Private Limited in Pune, India.

During his leisure time, he takes pleasure in dancing, drawing, making portraits, and singing.
