Message from HOD’s Desk
I heartily welcome you to the Centre for Environmental Science
and Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay.
Rapid industrialization poses many environmental challenges
but also offers opportunities to find out of the box solutions. This
is the place where you can put efforts to solve these critical
issues and create fruitful results which can help society as well as country.
Centre provides you good opportunities which you can use to achieve your goals. We are in
pursuit of achieving harmony between faculties and students. The department provides a
conductive environment for the students to develop analytical and practical skills. To harness
your abilities, department organizes regular training in software & hardware, arranges
workshop, national and international conferences.
I strongly believe that success lies in modifying and trying different approaches towards
the problem. Best in you will come out during tough situations, so keep working hard.

About Department
The Centre for Environmental Science and Engineering at IIT Bombay was established in 1985.
Prior to this, an "Environmental Science and Engineering Group" comprising of faculty members
from various allied disciplines existed on campus since 1977. CESE has a dedicated group of
ten regular faculty members and one emeritus professor with multi-disciplinary background and
interests. The Centre offers M.Sc.-Ph.D., M.Tech and Ph.D. programmes in Environmental
Science and Engineering. All the programmes are interdisciplinary in nature and consist of
course work followed by a research project.
The mission of our department’s post graduate programs is to prepare graduate students
to succeed in careers in environmental engineering in such diverse employment opportunities
as consulting, industry, governments at all levels, and/or higher education. Broadly speaking,
the department’s mission includes teaching, research and service. All PG students receive
formal education by being taught in classroom settings. In addition, many actively participate in
research projects under faculty supervision, thus receiving informal instruction in the planning
and conducting of research.
Since inception, the Centre has established and maintained strong links with leading
industries, institutions and national and international funding agencies. Research projects are
currently funded by renowned agencies such CIAR (Centre for Indoor Air Research, USA), DST
(Department of Science and Technology), AERB (Atomic Energy Regulatory Board), MPCB
(Maharashtra Pollution Control Board), MCGM (Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai),
MoES (Ministry of Earth Sciences) and MoEF (Ministry of Environment and Forests).
Major ongoing research deal with contemporary topics like:
Clean technologies and industrial pollution prevention
Integrated treatment and disposal of hazardous waste
Biomedical waste management
Biodegradation of complex industrial wastewaters (fertilizer, food, paper, coke oven,
dairy, distillery, petrochemicals) and wastewaters containing halogenated aromatics,
nitro-aromatics and other mixed substrates
Biodegradation of complex non-aqueous liquid pollutants (NAPLs e.g., oil and tar)
Development and application of toxicity/mutagenicity tests for emission and effluents
Development of novel bioreactors (RBC, UASB), Air pollution monitoring, modelling and
health risk analysis
5
Aerosol and PAH emission factors, aerosol inventory, transport modelling and source
apportionment
Environmental impact assessment of developmental projects
In-situ and ex-situ remediation of contaminated groundwater and aquatic environments.
Air Quality Modelling using Fuzzy.
Building Artificial Soils from Industrial Waste Products.
Flood risk mapping; trend analysis in extremes.
Influence of hydro-climatological factors on agriculture and rainfall pattern.
Optimization approaches to municipal solid waste management.
ADVISING/MENTORING
Advising and mentoring are two very important elements in a graduate student’s career. Upon
acceptance into the CESE department, graduate students enrolling as Ph.D. research scholar
are assigned a faculty advisor, who is identified to the student in the acceptance letter from the
department. In most cases, the student will have indicated an area of interest in their
application, and the faculty advisor will be an expert in that sub-discipline. Graduates enrolling
for master’s program (M.Tech) are assigned faculty advisor after the end of first semester when
projects are being assigned.
The graduate coordinator will provide initial guidance on overall academic requirements,
program and university policies and procedures, while the faculty dissertation advisor serves
more as a mentor providing direction on research, advice on program of study, and guidance on
other areas of academic and personal life.
