    Introduction [Biosketch]

    • Dr. Dipanjan Mukherjee is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at National Institute of Technology Silchar, where he has been contributing since December 2023. He holds a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from IIT Kharagpur and an M.Tech in Transportation Engineering from NIT Silchar. Before joining academia, he served as a Team Leader in the Road Safety and Audits division at SaveLIFE Foundation, where he played a key role in assessing and improving road safety across India. Dr. Mukherjee's research focuses on road safety evaluation in developing countries. With expertise in traffic engineering, crash data analysis, accident data modelling, non-motorized transportation, transportation planning, travel behaviour, and pavement design. A certified road safety auditor, he has conducted audits and black spot rectifications across 7,000 km of Expressway, NH, SH, and MDR in 18 states in India, significantly contributing to safer road infrastructure. His academic contributions include 10 SCI-indexed and 3 Scopus-indexed journal publications, 3 book chapters, and 37 international conference papers. He has been recognized with four international best paper awards at prestigious conferences. Dr. Mukherjee has received professional certifications in 'Road Safety Auditor' from CRRI, AITD, iRAP, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Delhi, and Johns Hopkins University, reinforcing his expertise in road safety and transportation systems.
