Basant Singh SikarwarBasant Sikarwar is a Postdoc from Iowa State University USA, Ph.D. from Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India, and M.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, India. His research experience is quite diversified, and he has been involve in experimental and simulation 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 the optimization of cooling techniques for thermal management of engineering systems, cooling of electronic equipment, heat pipes fabrication, water harvesting from moist air, and thermal energy storage. During his Ph.D., he developed a Finite Volume-based CFD solver and many students of his research groups at Amity university have been using this CFD solver for their research in thermal and fluid engineering. He published more than 40 SCI/Scopus-indexed journals and more than 100 Scopus-indexed conference publications. He completed one SERB-funded project and three funded projects from various funding agencies (BRNS and DST) are going on. He chaired many conferences. He is a member of the editorial board of many journals and book series, and he is a guest editor in the journal Enhanced Heat Transfer (Begell House Corp.). He is a consultant in many industries, and he has guided four Ph.D. Currently, four students are carrying out his research under his supervision. He has been heading the department of Mechanical engineering, Amity University Uttar Pradesh, since 2018. In addition, he is an Assistant Director of the Amity directorate of Engineering, Technology, and Innovation (ADETI). Read More Read Less
