About the editors
Dr. Pankaj Kalita is Assistant Professor in the Centre for Energy, Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati. He has graduated from Jorhat Engineering College (Under Dibrugarh University, Assam) in Mechanical Engineering. He has completed his master degree (M.Tech) in Mechanical Engineering (specialization: Fluids and Thermal Engineering) and PhD in Energy from IIT Guwahati. He worked at Tezpur University as Assistant Professor in the Department of Energy before joining at IIT Guwahati. He has more than 6 years of teaching and 16 years of research experience in the field of renewable energy (solar energy, thermochemical and biochemical conversion of biomass and energy storage). He has published more than 30 peer-reviewed research papers in various reputed journals, 8 book chapters and 15 conference papers. He is a recipient of India Distinguished Visiting Fellow awarded by the University of Nottingham, United Kingdom, in the year 2010. He was also selected for attending prestigious India-UK young scientist networking conference on low carbon technologies held during 2-3 December, 2009, Kolkata, organized by British Council Kolkata. He has also represented IIT Guwahati in the 2nd Winter School held at Gifu University, Japan, in December 2016. Currently he is guiding ten PhD students and three master’s students. He has successfully implemented seven research projects and twelve consultancy projects funded by different government and private agencies in various fields of renewable energy. At present two research projects are in progress in the areas of energy storage, and renewable energy integration for remote electrification. He has organized three short-term courses and a national conference sponsored by TEQIP in the areas of clean energy and waste to energy successfully. He has also organized a GIAN course on Advances in Combustion and Gasification Technology successfully. His current areas of research include solar energy conversion, thermochemical and biochemical conversion, energy management, energy storage (li-ion and thermal energy) and integration of renewable energy for remote electrification.
Dr. Anup Paul is Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Institute of Technology Arunachal Pradesh. He obtained his B.Tech. (Mechanical Engineering) from North Easter Hill University, Shillong; M.Tech. (Eng.) from Biju Patnaik University of Technology, Odisha, and Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai. He has worked asAssistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Tezpur University before joining NIT Arunachal Pradesh in 2015. He is working in the field of biological heat transfer and fluid flow, laser mediated hyperthermia treatment in presence of nanoparticles, thermal management etc. He has previously worked on thermal ablation of bio-tissues embedded with large blood vessels during NIR Laser assisted plasmonic photo-thermal therapy. Currently, he is working on laser assisted photo-thermal heating of skin embedded with vascular trees, microwave tumor ablation, heat and flow maldistribustion in microchannel heat sink, thermo-hydro dynamics of droplet impacts. He is guiding two PhD students and has published 12 papers in both journals and conferences. He has received Early Career Research Award by Science and Engineering Research Board.
Abhik Banerjee received his Ph.D. degree from Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines), IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, Jharkhand, India in 2015. Previously, he was working in the capacity of assistant professor in the department of Electrical Engineering, Asansol Engineering College, Asansol, West-Bengal, India. He joined NIT Arunachal Pradesh as Assistant Professor in EE Department in 2015. Currently, he is working as assistant professor (in Grade-I) and works as Head of the Department in Electrical Engineering Department in National Institute of Technology, Arunachal Pradesh, Yupia, India.
