Outstanding Young Faculty Fellowship at IIT Delhi for 2008-2013.
Dr. Munawar Shaik has about 13 years experience in modeling and optimization.
He has developed several novel mathematical programming models for solving
a variety of problems in process systems engineering including:
planning and scheduling of batch and continuous operations, process synthesis, and
evolutionary computation, thus improving the resource utilization of several manufacturing
processes including refineries, petrochemicals, pulp and paper, polymers, and other fast
moving consumer goods (FMCG) plants. He received Young Scientist award in 2008-09 from
Indian Science Congress Association (ISCA). He has been awarded Young Engineers Award in
