About the Author

Professor Eran Sher was awarded the John Orr Award in 1989 for leading research in mechanical engineering, and the Bergman Award in 1995 for outstanding scientific achievements. He received his B.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and his Ph.D. at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. Sher joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in 1978. Shortly thereafter, he established the internal combustion engines teaching and research laboratory of the department, which was recognized as a center of excellence in 1995 for its research and development studies.Professor Sher is co-author of a fundamental-oriented based text entitled The Two-Stroke Cycle Engine, Its Development, Design and Characteristics, and is the author of a student textbook entitled Introduction to Internal Combustion Engines(in Hebrew). Other published texts include over 120 scientific articles. He has presented more than 70 papers in international conferences.

Editorial Reviews

These 16 contributions offer international perspectives on the subject areas of air pollution from fuels and from spark-ignition, compression-ignition, and two-stroke engines, as well as the global effects of these pollutants. Topics include airborne pollutants that cause cancer, abatement policies for mobile-source emissions, the future of the diesel engine for cars, alternative fuels, engines with optical access, and control technologies.
