Dr. Rakesh Kumar Maurya has been a faculty member in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Ropar, since August 2013. Before joining IIT Ropar, he was working as senior research associate (Pool Scientist-CSIR) at IIT Kanpur. He received his bachelor’s, master’s, and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India. He received the Early Career Research Award from Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB), Government of India, New Delhi. He is also a recipient of the Young Scientist Award (2016) from the International Society for Energy, Environment and Sustainability. He is the author of the two books titled “Characteristics and Control of Low Temperature Combustion Engines” and “Reciprocating Engine Combustion Diagnostics” published by Springer International Publishing AG in 2018, 2019 respectively. He has also edited 1 book published by Springer and published 15 book chapters and more than 40 international peer-reviewed journal papers. He teaches and conducts research in the area of internal combustion engines. His areas of interest are low-temperature engine combustion, alternative fuels, engine combustion diagnostics, engine instrumentation, combustion and emission control, particulate matter characterization, engine management systems, engineering ethics, and philosophy of science.
