Dr. Basant Singh Sikarwar is a Postdoctoral Fellow at Iowa State University. He has a Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur and an M.Tech from the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, India. With over 19 years of experience in thermo-fluids, his research focuses on phase change and interfacial phenomena, with applications in electronic cooling, condensation, droplet dynamics, heat pipes, and water harvesting. During his Ph.D., he developed a condensation model and finite volume-based CFD solver, which his research group at Amity University uses for advanced research in this area. He has published 75+ SCI/Scopus-indexed journal papers and 100+ conference papers, completed two DST projects, and currently leads three government-funded projects in his lab. He supervises seven Ph.D. candidates and has guided several others. Dr. Sikarwar has chaired multiple conferences and serves on editorial boards of reputed journals and book series. He is a Guest Editor for many reputed journals and actively consults for various industries. Since 2015, he has been a professor and head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Amity University, Noida.
Dr. Sanjeev Kumar Sharma completed Ph.D. (Thermal Engineering) from Indian Institute of Technology IIT(ISM) Dhanbad. He did his M.Tech. (Energy Management) from IIT Delhi and B.Tech. (Mechanical Engineering) from G. B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pant Nagar. For the last twenty years, he has been involved in experimental and theoretical study of many aspects of novel desalination techniques, food-energy-water nexus, boiling and condensation. During his Ph.D. he developed a novel desalination device to fulfil the requirement of potable water. He published more than 30+ SCI/Scopus-indexed journals and conference articles on novel desalination techniques, food-energy-water nexus, boiling, and condensation. He has also been the author of one book and the inventor of two Indian patents.
Dr. Krishna Mohan Singh is working as a professor with the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee. Before this position, he worked as an assistant professor, Shinshu University Nagano Japan. He, also, worked as a research assistant at Queen Mary, University of London, London, UK. He completed his Ph.D. at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur in 1993. His research areas are fluid dynamics: numerical simulation of turbulent flows in complex geometries; computational mechanics: parallel numerical algorithms for continuum problems, mesh-free methods; modeling, simulation and CAD of thermo-fluid and multiphysics systems (energy systems). He got Hitachi Research Visit Programs (HIVIPS) Fellowship, Hitachi Research Group, Hitachi Ltd., Japan. He has published more than 100 research papers in various national and international journals of high repute.
