Basant Singh SikarwarProf. (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 aspets 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.
