Dr. Lipika Kabiraj is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Ropar. She obtained her PhD in 2012 in Aerospace Engineering from IIT Madras, and prior to that earned an M.Tech in Fuels & Combustion from Birla Institute of Technology Mesra and a B.Tech in Chemical Engineering from Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering.
Her research spans the fields of fluid and thermal sciences, with special expertise in combustion dynamics, thermoacoustic instabilities (including flame blowout and flashback), combustion noise, nonlinear time‐series analysis, and experimental diagnostics of combustors and flames. After her PhD, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Chair of Fluid Dynamics, Technical University of Berlin, supported by the German Research Foundation. At IIT Ropar she leads work in combustion and flame dynamics, atomization of liquid fuels and gel propellants, and she is engaged in supervised projects in diagnostics and nonlinear dynamics.
