Devesh Ranjan is a Professor in the Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology, holding a courtesy appointment in the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering. He currently serves as the Eugene C. Gwaltney, Jr. School Chair and co-director of the University Consortium for Applied Hypersonics (UCAH). His research focuses on fluid mechanics, shock dynamics, turbulent mixing, and energy systems, with applications in hypersonics, combustion, and solar thermal energy storage. Ranjan has led numerous initiatives, including roles as Interim Vice-President for Interdisciplinary Research and leadership in the National Academy of Engineering’s Frontiers in Engineering programs.
Education: Ph.D. (2007), M.S. (2005) from University of Wisconsin-Madison; B.E. (2003) from National Institute of Technology-Trichy. His work bridges academia and industry, with contributions to granular flows, shock tube experiments, and multiphase systems.
Research emphasizes extreme conditions like hypersonic flows and turbulent mixing, leveraging advanced diagnostics and computational models. His articles explore topics like Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities, supercritical CO₂ heat exchangers, and blast-driven turbulence. Awards include ASME Fellowship, NSF CAREER Award, and DOE Early Career Award.
He advises students and mentors across mechanical engineering, leading high-impact projects such as UCAH’s $100M DoD-funded consortium. His teaching accolades include the Governor’s Teaching Fellowship and recognition for DEI contributions.
