About

Dr. Rohit Singh Lather is currently an Associate Professor and officiating Head of, M.E. Department at The NorthCap University. He graduated in 2005 with a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Kurukshetra University. He completed his post-graduation in Automotive Engineering from Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) and the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) in 2008. Dr. Rohit Singh Lather earned a PhD, in Energy Studies from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi) in 2014. During his PhD, he developed a port gas injection system for CNG, HCNG, and Hydrogen. He was also an exchange student in UGhent, Belgium. As a student at IIT Delhi, he started the 'International Association of Hydrogen Energy Student Chapter' at the Centre for Energy Studies at IIT Delhi, under the Mentorship of Prof. L.M.Das. He was the first student president of IAHE, IIT Delhi Chapter.

After completing his PhD from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, he started his career at The NorthCap University, Gurugram, in 2014. He explores to develop a modern curriculum and creative ways of teaching students. His areas of specialization include engine development, alternative fuels (CNG, HCNG, Hydrogen, and Biofuels), emission reduction, combustion diagnostics, and electric vehicles. His current research includes alternative fuels (butanol, CNG, waste to oil using pyrolysis, biogas) studies on I.C. engines, electric vehicles, and the development of electric two-wheelers and gas stove efficiency improvement. He has developed I.C. engines and an Automobile lab. He has developed "Automotive Electronics", "Automotive Safety", and "Vehicle Development & Testing" courses for graduate-level students. "Design of I.C. Engines" course for post-graduate level.

Dr. Rohit is an active researcher. His general area of research includes energy and alternative energy, automotive engineering, and thermal systems. He has supervised seven M. Tech. Thesis in alternative fuels for gasoline and diesel engines, pyrolysis and spray characteristics of GDI engines. Presently, he is leading one Ph.D. student in the design area. He has several peer-reviewed international and national Journal publications and conference proceedings to his accord. A lifetime member of the Combustion Institute Indian Section and Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). He is an operations consultant to Beijing Wave Spectrum, China India operations. Consultant ISH Precession Tools, Faridabad, Consultant to Incredi-minds for module development.

His noteworthy achievements include Mechanics Lab set up by Beijing Wave Spectrum Science and Technology Co. Ltd., China, with an approximate cost of USD 60,000 for Vibration Technology, Sensors, and Control System Technology. The lab carries out research & development of testing instruments and systems, training for industry and students; Pollution Checking Centre with an approximate cost INR 8 Lakhs; Mango project: Development of Electric two-wheeler using Li-ion Batteries, sponsored by ISH Precession Tools, Faridabad for INR 1.5 Lakh; Gas stove efficiency improvement: V.C.
