Dr. Mohammad Altamush Siddiqui is currently Professor in Department of Mechanical Engineering, Zakir Hussain College of Engineering and Technology, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), India, and also serving as Dean Faculty of Engineering and Technology, AMU. He obtained his B.Sc. in mechanical engineering from AMU in 1982 and M.Tech. from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur in 1985. He further obtained his Ph.D. from AMU in 1992. His research interests include convective heat transfer, energy conversion systems, refrigeration and air-conditioning, etc. He has developed heat transfer and solar energy laboratory in the initial year of services at AMU. He has published around 43 papers in various international journals of repute and 2 chapters.
Dr. Nadeem Hasan is currently Professor in Department of Mechanical Engineering, Zakir Hussain College of Engineering and Technology, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), India. He obtainedhis B.Sc. and M.Sc. in mechanical engineering from AMU in 1991 and 1996, respectively, and Ph.D. from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi in 2006. His research interests include computing of incompressible fluid flow and heat transfer, proper orthogonal decomposition, modeling and computation of low Mach number flows subjected to large temperature differences using non-Oberbeck-Boussinesq models, modeling, and computation of high-speed compressible flows. He has developed novel particle velocity upwind family of schemes for computing of compressible flows right from very low Mach (incompressible limit) to very high supersonic/hypersonic continuum flow regimes. He has also developed novel far-field boundary conditions for incompressible flows around immersed bodies. He has published around 33 papers in various international journals of repute and 4 chapters.
Dr. Andallib Tariq is currently Professor and Head, Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee, India. He obtained his BE in mechanical engineering from Bangalore University and obtained M.Tech. and Ph.D. degrees from IIT Kanpur. His research interests include experimental fluid mechanics, turbulence, heat transfer enhancement, thermal contact conductance, inverse problems, gas turbine blade cooling, nuclear safety research, and optical diagnostic tools like LCT, PIV, and IR thermography. He has established and implemented a critical heat transfer enhancement technology based on Liquid Crystal Thermography (LCT) and was the foremost to initiate the implementation of LCT for gas turbine heat transfer research in India. He has published around 39 papers in various international journals of repute along with 2 chapters.
