The primary focus of Dr. Mandal’s research is to develop analytic and numeric mathematical tools to deal with a class of wave-structure interaction problems arising in the broad field of Ocean Engineering. He is an expert to use various mathematical methods such as Fourier-Bessel Series, Integral transforms, Eigen function expansion method, Least square approximation method, Theory of Bessel functions, Green's function technique, Mild-slope approximation, Wide-spacing approximation method and Complex function theory, boundary element method and other appropriate numerical methods to deal with the problems at hand. Apart from wave-structure interaction problem, his current research also focuses on the coastal processes and Environmental Impact Assessment study through in-situ observations and numerical modelling (Delft3D).
