Prof. (Dr.) Pankaj Kumar Roy is currently the Dean of Interdisciplinary Studies, Law and Management of Jadavpur University and Professor and Joint Director of the Department of School of Water Resources Engineering, Jadavpur University (JU). He is also the Director of School of Environmental Studies, JU. He earned his doctorate in Water Resources Engineering and Management from Jadavpur University which was mainly concentrated on modeling hydrological regime under impact of climate change scenario. His thrust area includes hydraulics and water resources engineering, fluid mechanics, climate change and its impact on water resources engineering, surface water pollution and its mitigation, groundwater dynamics, watershed technology and management, water conservation technology, hydro-geological investigation, surface and ground water interaction, solid waste management, environmental modelling, waste water characteristics etc. He is the recipient of several fellowships andawards such as Young Scientist (Institute of Engineers, Govt. of India), 1st National Doctorate Fellow by AICTE at JU (Govt. of India), Internship Fellowship (University of Pisa, Italy) and IEI Young Engineers Award (Institution of Engineers (India), Government of India). He has acted as the invited speaker and the chair-person in as many as 20 reputed national and international seminars, conferences and workshops. He was the co-ordinator of international Conference on Sustainable Water Resources Management conducted by School of Water Resources Engineering, Jadavpur University under collaboration with Women's College Calcutta and National Institute of Technology, Durgapur. He has completed 20 national and international research projects funded by DST, PHED, etc. and has conducted 30 consultancy research items. Currently he is the principal investigator of 4 research projects funded by NRDMS, DST, RUSA 2.0, DST, Govt of West Bengal, etc. He has
