About the Author

Dr. Himanshu Pathak is working as an associate professor at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi, Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, India. He received B.E. degree from Nagpur University and further Ph.D. degree from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Patna, India. Dr Pathak has expertise on mesh independent computational methodology (like XFEM and meshfree methods), multi-scale modelling, solid mechanics, fracture and fatigue analyses of composite materials, modelling of composites and mechanical characterisation of composites etc. Dr. Pathak is also involved in meso-scale modelling for the prediction of thermo-mechanical-electrical properties of tailored composite materials.

Dr. Sunny Zafar is a faculty member of school of mechanical and material engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Mandi. He received a B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering with distinction from Punjab Technical University in 2011, and an M.Tech. from the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee in 2013. He received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee in 2016. His present research interests span advanced manufacturing processes for polymer composites, additive manufacturing, microwave based manufacturing processes, surface engineering, experimental tribology, mechanical behaviour of materials. Much of his doctoral work has been on improving the understanding, design, and performance engineered surfaces for various tribological applications.
