Flow and Transport in Subsurface Environment

Dr. Natarajan Narayanan received his Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai, India and subsequently worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Adelaide, South Australia. His research expertise includes numerical modeling of flow and transport in homogeneous and heterogeneous porous media, and modeling of coupled processes in fractured porous media. He has publications in international journals and conference proceedings. Dr. Berlin Mohanadhas is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Arunachal Pradesh, India. He secured his doctoral degree from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai, India. His research interests include numerical modeling of nitrate transport and transformation through unsaturated porous media. He is also working on the transport of petroleum hydrocarbon and radionuclides in the vadose zone, and has published in various international journals and conference proceedings.Dr. Vasudevan Mangottiri received his B.Tech. in Agricultural Engineering from Kerala Agricultural University, Kerala in 2007, his M.Tech. in Civil (Environmental) Engineering from Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, Allahabad in 2009, and his Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai, India in 2015. He is currently working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, Bannari Amman Institute of Technology, Sathyamangalam, Tamil Nadu. His research areas include numerical modeling of contaminant transport in porous media and environmental remediation of hazardous chemicals. He has published in various international journals and conference proceedings.
