Prof. (Dr.) Basant Singh Sikarwar is a Postdoc from Iowa State University USA, Ph.D. from Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India, and MTech Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, India. His research experience is quite diversified in many aspects of thermo-fluids research with an emphasis on phase change phenomena and the formation of interfaces. The subject is poised for growth because of several engineering applications such as optimization of cooling techniques, thermal management of engineering systems, drop evaporation dynamics, boiling, water harvesting from moist air, dropwise condensation, and thermal energy storage. During his Ph.D., he developed a Finite Volume-based CFD solver, and his research group has been using this CFD solver for his research in thermal and fluid engineering. He published 75+ SCI/Scopus-indexed journals and 100+ Scopus-indexed conference manuscripts. He completed one research-funded project of the Science Engineering Research Board (SERB), India, and three research-funded projects are going on in his lab. He chaired many conferences and is a member of the editorial board of many journals and book series. He supervised four Ph.D. students, and four Ph.D. students are currently doing research in his lab. Currently, He is a Professor and Heading the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Amity University, NOIDA, India. In addition, he is an Assistant Director at the Amity Directorate of Engineering, Technology, and Innovation (ADETI) and a member of the task force, Amity Institute of Defence Technology. Dr. Sikarwar has delivered many guest lectures at National/International conferences and workshops. He has also been the author/co-author of two books and the inventor of 10 Indian patents. 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 in 2008 and B.Tech. (Mechanical Engineering) from G. B. Pant University of Agriculture & Technology, Pant Nagar in 2003. For the last eighteen 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 fulfill 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.
