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.

Prof. (Dr.) Basant Singh Sikarwar是來自美國愛荷華州立大學的博士後研究員，印度卡納普爾印度理工學院的博士，以及印度魯爾基印度理工學院的碩士。他在熱流體研究的許多方面具有豐富的研究經驗，重點是相變現象和界面形成。由於多個工程應用，如冷卻技術優化、工程系統的熱管理、滴液蒸發動力學、沸騰、從濕空氣中收集水、滴狀冷凝和熱能儲存，這一主題具有增長的潛力。在他的博士期間，他開發了一個基於有限體積的計算流體力學求解器，他的研究小組一直在使用這個求解器進行熱流體工程的研究。他發表了75多篇SCI/Scopus索引期刊和100多篇Scopus索引會議論文。他完成了一個由印度科學工程研究委員會（SERB）資助的研究項目，並且他的實驗室正在進行三個研究項目的資助。他主持了許多會議，並且是許多期刊和專書系列的編輯委員會成員。他指導了四名博士生，目前有四名博士生在他的實驗室進行研究。目前，他是印度Amity大學機械工程系的教授和系主任。此外，他還是Amity工程、技術和創新總監處（ADETI）的助理主任，以及Amity國防技術研究所的工作小組成員。Sikarwar博士在國內/國際會議和研討會上發表了許多特邀演講。他還是兩本書的作者/合著者和10項印度專利的發明人。

Dr. Sanjeev Kumar Sharma在印度達恩巴德印度理工學院（IIT(ISM) Dhanbad）完成了熱工程的博士學位。他於2008年在印度德里印度理工學院（IIT Delhi）獲得能源管理的碩士學位，並於2003年在G. B. Pant農業和技術大學（Pant Nagar）獲得機械工程的學士學位。在過去的十八年中，他一直從事新型海水淡化技術、食物-能源-水聯繫、沸騰和冷凝的實驗和理論研究。在他的博士期間，他開發了一種新型的海水淡化設備，以滿足飲用水的需求。他發表了30多篇SCI/Scopus索引期刊和會議文章，涉及新型海水淡化技術、食物-能源-水聯繫、沸騰和冷凝。
