Overview of Profile:

Dr. Janhavi Inamdar is Professor in the School of Civil Engineering. Her fields of interest in research includes Environmental engineering, Solar detoxification, Solar energy etc.

She is also handling additional responsibility of Dean, External Relations, MIT AOE.

In her career of 36 years, she has worked in various capacities as HOD, Vice Principal, Principal and Director. With these roles, she has got a special/unique experience of international collaborations.

In 2005, she was selected for designing the syllabus for the international Masters program in "Sustainable Built Environment" which was under the Asia Link Program of European Union. She had visited Aalborg University, Denmark for the same. Brunel University, UK, Hunan University, China were the partners.

In 2010, she was selected for one month training on PBL (Project based Learning) in Aalborg University, Denmark under Erasmus Mundus Program “Mobility for life”

She was instrumental in sending around 11 to 15 faculty members every year for their PhD program in Aalborg University, Denmark, Europe. PhD program has continued since then with addition of various universities like Technical University of Sofia, Bulgaria, Europe, and Aarhus University, Herning campus, Denmark, Europe, and National Technological University, Ukraine. Also, the Master program in University of Arkansas, Little rock, USA started in 2018.

From the year 2014, she started working for a unique program called "UG fellowship". It is a summer internship program of 45 days in 11 international universities in the USA, UK, Europe, Russia and Ukraine.
