Ritwik Ghoshal

Ritwik Ghoshal is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Ocean Engineering and Naval Architecture at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. He previously served as a post-doctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the National University of Singapore (NUS), where he contributed to the Keppel-NUS Corporate Laboratory's research on Arctic floater station-keeping systems.

His research focuses on the development of mitigation strategies against explosion-induced shock loading on marine structures using advanced marine-grade sandwich panels. This work lies at the intersection of structural dynamics, marine engineering, and material science, aiming to enhance survivability and safety in naval and offshore applications.

Dr. Ghoshal has presented his research at various international conferences and published in leading peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings, contributing to advancements in ocean engineering and naval architecture.

His scientific work demonstrates a strong trend in offshore structural integrity, particularly in extreme environments such as the Arctic, with emphasis on economic design and resilience under dynamic loads.
