Dr. Dilip Sharma is currently a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Malaviya National Institute of Technology Jaipur (MNIT Jaipur), Rajasthan. He received his masters’ degree in Thermal Engineering from IIT Roorkee, and Ph.D. from MNIT Jaipur in 2005. He is a senior academician with over 30 years of experience, and has published over 150 research articles in the international journals and conferences. His research interests include internal combustion engines, alternate fuels and emissions, non-conventional sources of energy, hydrogen energy, engine combustion, cogeneration/trigeneration system, biofuels, combustion generated emission, solar thermal systems, etc.

Dr. Somnath Roy is currently Associate Professor at Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. He received his masters’ degree in Mechanical Engineering from IIT Kanpur in 2004, and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Louisiana State University, USA, in 2010. Before joining IIT Kharagpur, he worked as research associate and visiting faculty at Louisiana State University, USA, followed by Assistant Professor at Indian Institute of Technology Patna. His research interest is turbulence, arterial flows, moving boundary flow simulation, high-performance computing using cluster and GPGPUs. His primary area of work is computational fluid dynamics (CFD). He has hosted two GIAN programs on computational methods and has also offered online course (NPTEL) on matrix solvers. His research group works on developing immersed boundary method (IBM)-based computationally efficient algorithms to solve moving boundary problems and on utilizing these implementations to predict flow and heat transfer in engineering and biological applications.
