About the Author

Dr. Pradeep Kumar Jha is presently working as Professor at the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering. After receiving bachelor’s and master’s degrees from M.I.T. Muzaffarpur, Bihar, and National Institute of Foundry and Forge Technology, Ranchi, Jharkhand, in the year 1995 and 1999, respectively, Professor Jha obtained his Ph.D. degree from IIT Kharagpur in the year 2004. Prior to joining as Assistant Professor in IIT Roorkee in the year 2007, he also served as Sr. Lecturer and Assistant Professor at IIT Guwahati and IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, respectively. Prof. Jha specializes in the areas of manufacturing engineering, with special emphasis on casting operations, modeling and simulation of continuous casting operations, and metal matrix composites. He has his credit in more than 100 publications in international and national journals and conferences and two book chapters. He earns immense respect among the researchers working in the domain of process modeling studies in continuous casting, owing to novel and impactful research contributions in that domain, the most recent being use of magneto-hydrodynamic applications in continuous casting. In his broad area of expertise, he has supervised so far 10 doctoral theses, and nine students are already on roll. He has also supervised about 40 M.Tech. theses and 25 B.Tech. theses. He has dealt with many sponsored research projects from funding agencies like DST, CSIR, SERB (Government of India). Professor Jha has been involved with the teaching of subjects with Manufacturing and Thermal Streams.

Dr. Brajesh Tripathi received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering in 2008 from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India. He was a post-doctorate fellow at the Michigan State University, USA, for two and half years and worked on a US government-sponsored project on Computational Fluid Dynamics. Presently, he holds the associate professor positions at Rajasthan Technical University Kota. Dr. Tripathi received 06 research grants for various sponsored projects from GNIDA, NAL, BRNS, MHRD, and AICTE. He has guided 08 Ph.D.s and 26 M.Tech. scholars. He has published more than 130 research articles in peer-reviewed international journals and conferences. Dr. Tripathi’s primary interest is working on practical problems using fundamental concepts of Computational Fluid Dynamics especially in diesel engine, heating, ventilation and air[1]conditioning, turbulent flows, unconventional energy systems, etc.

Elango Natarajan has obtained B.E. and M.E. from University of Madras in 1997 and 1999, respectively. He has received Ph.D. in the areas of Soft Robotics in February 2010. He then completed his post-doctoral research in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia in the areas of soft actuators. He has received Chartered Engineer (CEng.) from Engineering Council, UK, in 2014. He has more than 20+ years of teaching experience. He is currently attached to Department of Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering,UCSI University, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia as Associate Professor. He has completed two Malaysian Government-funded projects and two internal funded projects worth of about MYR 594,000. He is currently working on four Malaysian Government-funded projects worth of MYR 457,800 and three internal grant projects worth of MYR 120,000. He has published 90 research articles in SCOPUS/WoS Journals. His current h-index is 17 in SCOPUS. He has edited three conference proceedings and a book. He is now editing a special issue in Materials (MDPI), two books (Elsevier and T&F). He is Reviewer of many top WoS journals, and he has reviewed more than 200 journal articles for refereed journals. He is involved in many professional societies including IEEE, IET, and ASM international. He was Executive Committee Member of IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Malaysia from 2018 to 2020. He is now Secretary of IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Malaysia, from 2021. He is Professional Review Interviewer appointed by Institution of Engineering and Technology, UK.

Harish Sharma is Associate Professor at Rajasthan Technical University, Kota, in Department of Computer Science & Engineering.
