Gautam Choubey
Gautam Choubey is working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, at the Institute of Infrastructure Technology Research and Management (IITRAM), Ahmedabad, India. He holds a Ph.D. in the field of supersonic combustion and M. Tech in Thermal Engineering from National Institute of Technology Silchar, Assam, India. He has been working the past eight years on computational fluid dynamics modeling of supersonic compressible flow and has authored over 30 journal publications. His research interest mainly includes scramjet combustion, supersonic combustion, turbulence modeling in high-speed flows, and shock-boundary layer interaction. He was also recognized among the top 2% researchers and scientists of the world in a report published by Stanford University, USA and Elsevier BV, Netherlands for the year 2020.
Sumit Tripathi
Sumit Tripathi is working as Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Institute of Infrastructure, Technology Research and Management (IITRAM), Ahmedabad, India. He earned his Ph.D. jointly from IIT Bombay (India) and Monash University (Australia). He has worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Monash University Australia during 2017-18. Both of his Ph.D. and postdoctoral projects were funded by Australian industries and gave him excellent opportunities to work on industry relevant problems in a multidisciplinary and ‘industry-academia’ collaborative environment. He has over six years of experience in industry and academia. He has published several papers in international journals and conference proceedings and has participated in several conferences across India, Australia, Japan, and USA. His research interests include experiments in fluid mechanics, rheology of complex fluids, adsorption kinetics, wicking in nonwoven fabrics, and interfacial science.
Vivek Kumar Singh
Vivek Kumar Singh is working as Scientist/Engineer at Thermal Engineering Division of Space Application Center, ISRO, Ahmedabad, India. He is working in thermal design, analysis and testing of spacecraft payloads. He worked at Propulsion Research & Studies Entity of Liquid Propulsion Systems Center, ISRO, Trivandrum from the year 2007 till 2013, where he worked mainly in CFD analyses for engine/stage components and electric propulsion systems. He also has research interest in heat transportation systems, phase change materials and cryogenics. He has published papers in several referred international journals and conference proceedings. He worked as project manager (Thermal) for various payloads of ISRO like RISAT-2B, GSAT 20, 24, IDRSS, etc. He is the recipient of Dr. Wille Memorial Prize for the year 2007, conferred by The National Society of Fluid Mechanics & Fluid Power, India.
