He received his BE in electronics engineering from Birla Institute of Technology and Science (India), an MBA from Bryant University, and an MSIE and PhD in industrial engineering from Purdue University. Dr. Gupta’s research interests are in the areas of production or manufacturing systems and operations research. He is primarily interested in environment conscious manufacturing, manufacturing of electronic products, MRP, JIT, and queueing theory. He has authored or coauthored about 350 technical papers that have been published in prestigious journals, books, and conference proceedings. His publications have been cited by thousands of researchers all over the world in journals, proceedings, books, and dissertations. He has traveled to all seven continents, that is, Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America and presented his work at international conferences there (except Antarctica). He is currently the area editor of environmental issues for Computers and Industrial Engineering, the associate editor for International Journal of Agile Systems and Management, and an editorial board member of a variety of journals. He has also served as a conference chair, track chair, and member of technical committees of a variety of international conferences. Dr. Gupta has been elected to the memberships of several honor societies and is listed in various Who’s Who publications.

(Fred) Lambert, is an assistant professor of industrial ecology in the Department of Technology Management at the University of Technology at Eindhoven, the Netherlands. He received his BS in electrical engineering from the Technical College at Vlissingen and his MSc in technical physics and his PhD in theoretical plasma physics from the University of Technology at Eindhoven, all in the Netherlands. In addition to the University of Technology at Eindhoven (the Netherlands), Dr. Lambert has participated in research projects at the Philips Company, the University of Greifswald (Germany), the University of Trieste (Italy), the Technical University at Lausanne (Switzerland), and the FOM Institute for Plasma Physics at Rijnhuizen (the Netherlands). Dr. Lambert has published papers on several topics, including nuclear fusion, nonequilibrium thermodynamics, MHD power modeling, and, more recently, on disassembly sequencing. He has published more than 40 research papers in various scientific journals and has contributed to numerous books, conference proceedings, and professional papers. Dr. Lambert teaches undergraduate students energy efficiency and the managerial aspects of reuse and recycling; he supervises group projects on industrial ecology–related topics. He coaches graduate students on topics such as energy and waste management in industry, and sustainable energy resources.
