Dr. Kamlesh Joshi is currently working as Assistant Professor at the Institute of Infrastructure, Technology, Research and Management (IITRAM), India. He has an experience of around seven years in teaching and research. He obtained his doctoral degree from Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB) in Mechanical Engineering and his M.Tech. from Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee in Metallurgical Engineering. His research interest lies in machining of difficult to cut materials for photovoltaic, aerospace, and medical applications. He has authored more than 15 research articles and organised two international conferences. Currently, he is handling three research projects sponsored from Department of Science and Technology (DST) India.

Dr. Surya Deo Yadav is working as Assistant Professor at Department of Metallurgical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi. He received Ph.D. degree from Institute of Material Science and Welding, TU Graz, Austria (2016), M.Tech. from MMED IIT Roorkee (2012), and B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering from IPEC (2008). After Ph.D., he continued his research work as Postdoctoral Scientific Researcher at TU Graz and afterwards joined IGCAR as Visiting Scientist for two years. Dr. Yadav’s research interests are in the area of microstructural based modelling of hot deformation and creep, precipitation kinetics, creep cavitation, design of tempered martensitic steels, thermomechanical processing using Gleeble-3800, and characterisation using XRD, EBSD, and TEM. Dr. Yadav has received few awards; those are best paper award in ICONS (2018) by SFA, InSIS and IGF, THERMEC (2016) Student Grant and Inspire Faculty Award (2018-2019).

Ankit Sharma has done B.Tech. in Metallurgy and Materials Engineering, National Institute of advanced Manufacturing Technology, Ranchi (Erstwhile NIFFT Ranchi). He is Pursuing M.Tech. in Structures and Design (Aerospace engineering) Indian Institute of Space Science & Technology, Trivandrum. He is currently working as Scientist/Engineer-SE at Mechatronics Engineering and Technology Section of Space Applications Centre, ISRO, Ahmedabad. His main area of work is design, development, and realisation of mechanisms for different satellite payloads. He also works on modelling and structural analysis of mechanical subsystems. He has worked at Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, ISRO, Thiruvananthapuram, from year 2010 to 2017 where he worked mainly on design, development, and realisation of Cast Components for Cryogenic and Semi-cryogenic Engines of ISRO Satellite Launch vehicles.
