Dr Arnab Sarkar received two Gold Medals in his Master of Mechanical Engineering at Jadavpur University in 2003 for being topper in the department as well as in the faculty of engineering and technology. He was also a DAAD Doctoral Fellow at Ruhr-University Bochum Germany from 2007-09. He started his teaching career at the department of Mechanical Engineering in erstwhile IT-BHU in 2004. Subsequently, he became Associate Professor in 2016. He along with his colleagues also established Centre for Energy and Resources Development which is a Centre of Excellence under FAST scheme of MHRD.

He taught several courses both in undergraduate and postgraduate levels such as Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Non-conventional Energy Resources, Power Plant, Turbo Machines, Applied Thermodynamics, Universal Human Values, Advanced Thermodynamics, Advanced Fluid Mechanics, Bio-transport Mechanism and Gas Dynamics.

Dr. Sarkar's research interests lie on the broad area of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics. At present, he is working on the application of fluid mechanics related to renewable energy harvesting and biomicrofluidics which results publications in highly cited journals such as Biosensors and Bioelectronics, Talanta, Physics of Fluids, Analyst, Biomicrofluidics, Microchemical Journal, Energy, Renewable Energy, Hydrogen Energy, Journal of Energy Storage, Fuel etc. He has published 42 articles in SCI/SCIE journals and investigated many projects so far as PI with a total budget of approximately 3 crores from various funding agencies such as BRNS, BIS, IDAPT, MHRD, DST, SERB, CST UP etc. Under SERB FIRE scheme he is currently collaborating with General Electrics. He has also presented almost 30 articles in various national and international conferences.

He delivered his Key Note addresses in many institutions of national importance such as IIT Delhi, IIT (BHU), NIT Hamirpur, NIT Patna, NIT Silchar, NIT Meghalaya etc. He was the invited speaker in JDS, 2019 and F&R Energy, 2020 which was held in Nancy, France and Huston, TX, USA respectively. He is the Reviewer of many prestigeous journals such as Energy, Applied Energy, Energy Conversion and Management, Physics of Fluids, Scientific Reports (Nature) etc. The certificate of outstanding contribution in reviewing has also been awarded to him by Energy journal (Elsevier). He is the Editor of Frontiers in Built Environment and is also becoming Guest Editor of Energies. Through his energy related projects, he is exploring wind energy harvesting and is integrating the same with other renewable energy resources such as solar and biomass for sustainable power supply to the gridlines. He is also estimaing wind loading to energy related structures such as stacks, cooling towetrs and so on through computational simulation supported by experimental studies including fabrication of physical simulator of cyclone. Off late, he has developed a new BIS code (IS 18315) for estimating cyclonic factor.

He is also the Principal Investigator of an MoE project under STARS scheme related to energy efficient pathology. In collaboration with IIT Kharagpur, he has recently established the proof of concept of the laboratory scale prototype of a Complete Blood Count (CBC) test kit on a portable spinning disc under energy efficient paradigm which has been covered by most of the leading newspapers and media channels such as Financial Express, Times Now, Economic Times, The Hitavada, The Week, Amar Ujala, Sakshi, Business Standard, Millennium Post, Express Healthcare, Anandabazar Patrika, Zee News etc. In this regard, he also filed patent entitled 'A Point of Care System Comprising Blood/Body Fluid Counting Kit' along with his coresearchers. For this research his team is the recipient of Gandhian Young Technological Innovation Award. In order to implement his DST project, his team is developing a portable spinning disc for estimating concentrations of different vitamins and minerals in blood plasma along with hemoglobin and plasma glucose by combining electrochemical and optical sensors, which is the need of the hour for effective monitoring of women's health during different stages of pregnancy specially in this pandemic situation. In a nutshell, the focus of this research is the establishment of a novel diagnostic delivery model enabled by disruptive technology for better healthcare at lower cost and validate the same through case studies combining empowerment of underserved population as human resources with niche diagnostic technology where paper based microfluidic platforms and spinning disc augmented by AI/ML are tools to establish the proposition of better care at lower cost. His team is also developing novel economic and business models for further commercialization of those portable microfluidic devices.

Dr. Sarkar is also the recipient of the Best Teacher Award in 2021 from IIT (BHU), Varanasi. He is the only faculty member from the department of mechanical engineering of IIT (BHU) who is the winner of Research Excellence Fellowship from 1994 alumni of IIT (BHU) in 2022. Again in 2023, he was conferred the Best Teacher Award for his postgraduate teaching and research.
