Dr. Rahul GoyalDr. Rahul Goyal is presently working as a Professor and Head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Manipal University Jaipur, India. He graduated in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Rajasthan and completed his master's from University College of Engineering, Kota in Thermal Engineering. He then pursued his Ph.D. degree from MNIT, Jaipur. His major research interests include alternative fuels in an IC engine, Waste heat recovery technology, Thermal energy storage, Combustion, Renewable Energy, etc. He has published more than 50 research publications in international peer-reviewed journals, reputed conferences, and book chapters. He also serves as a reviewer in various reputable journals. He has to his credit Invited Talks & Keynote addresses and chaired/co-chaired sessions at various conferences. He is a regular reviewer of research articles for many high-impact journals. He has supervised 3 PhDs and currently 3 research scholars are under his supervision. He is a life member of ISTE, India.
Dr. Satyanarayan PatelDr. Patel is currently working as a full-time assistant professor in mechanical engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Indore, India. He supervises Ph.D., master, and undergraduate students; and implements a research project funded by Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB) India. Previously, he worked as a prestigious Alexander Von Humboldt Post-doctoral Fellow in the Nonmetallic-Inorganic Materials Research Group, Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany. His research focuses on bulk lead-free ceramics (piezoelectric and ferroelectric) for energy storage, conversion, and caloric effects for solid-state refrigeration. He first demonstrated the elastocaloric and barocaloric effect in bulk ferroelectric ceramics using indirect measurements for solid-state refrigeration. He also explored an unforeseen component of the electric field-driven caloric effect termed the inverse piezocaloric effect.
