Dr. Shantanu Bhattacharya (PhD) is a Dr. Gurumukh T. and Veena M. Mehta Chair and Professor of Mechanical Engineering and the Head of Design Program at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. Prior to this, he completed his MS in Mechanical Engineering from the Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas and a PhD in Bioengineering from the University of Missouri at Columbia, United States of America. He completed his postdoctoral training at the Birck Nanotechnology Center at Purdue University. Dr. Bhattacharya’s main research interests are Design and development of micro- nanosensors and actuation platforms, nano-energetic materials, micro and nanofabrication technologies, water remediation using visible light photocatalysis and product design and development. He has many awards and accolades to his credit which includes the Institution of Engineers Young engineer award, the Institute of Smart structures and systems young scientist award, the national design research best mechanical engineering award, fellowship from the high energetic materials institute at Australia, fellowship of the Institution of Engineers of India etc. Dr. Bhattacharya has guided many PhD and masters’ students and has many peer-reviewed international journal publications, patents, books, and conference proceedings.
Dr. Sanjay Kumar is currently a Research Fellow at the National University of Singapore, Singapore. He received his PhD in design and fabrication of functionally engineered materials from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India. His research focuses on the development of design and development of acoustic metamaterials, acoustic wave control, paper-based analytical devices for point-of-care diagnostic applications, synthesis of nanoscale materials with controllable size and shape, design of multifunctional materials through self-assembly of nanoparticles, additive manufacturing processes, theoretical modeling andoptimization, finite-element based numerical simulation, etc. He has published eight journal papers in peer reviewed international journals, six book chapters, and two US patent (filed). Along with Ms. Pulak Bhushan and Prof. Shantanu Bhattacharya, he received the Gandhian Young Technological Innovation (GYTI 2017) Award at Rashtrapati Bhavan, New Delhi, India for development of a dengue NS1 detection kit. He was also awarded the "IFMBE Young Investigator Award" at the 2nd International Conference for Innovation in Biomedical Engineering and Life Sciences (ICIBEL2017) held in conjunction with the 10th Asia Pacific Conference on Medical and Biological Engineering (APCMBE2017) Malaysia.
