About the editors

Dr. Rashmi A. Agarwal is a senior researcher at IIT Kanpur. She completed her doctoral degree in Inorganic Chemistry from IIT Kanpur in 2014. She completed her M.Sc. in Organic Chemistry from Rajasthan University, Jaipur in 2002 and B.Sc. in Chemistry, from Kanoria College, Rajasthan University, Jaipur in 2000. She has expertise in coordination chemistry, coordination polymers, organic synthesis, inorganic synthesis, crystal structure determination, supramolecular chemistry, porous materials, topology, florescence, SC (single crystal)-to-SC transformation, synthesis of nano-particles. Dr. Rashmi A. Agarwal has published over 20 research papers in leading international journals.


Avinash K. Agarwal is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering in Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. His areas of interest are IC engines, combustion, alternative fuels, conventional fuels, optical diagnostics, laser ignition, HCCI, emission andparticulate control, and large bore engines. He has published 24 books and 230+ international journal and conference papers. Prof. Agarwal is a Fellow of SAE (2012), ASME (2013), ISEES (2015) and INAE (2015). He received several awards such as Prestigious Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Award-2016 in Engineering Sciences, Rajib Goyal prize-2015, NASI-Reliance Industries Platinum Jubilee Award-2012; INAE Silver Jubilee Young Engineer Award-2012; SAE International’s Ralph R.
