About the author
Dr. Saurabh Kumar Yadav is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at NITTTR Kolkata, India. He specializes in mechanical engineering and computational methods, with a strong focus on finite element analysis, dynamics, and vibrations. He earned his Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee and was a Visiting Research Scholar at Northwestern University, Evanston, USA, which enriched his academic and global exposure. Dr. Yadav has published more than 23 SCI-indexed journal papers and 13 conference papers. He has been part of a prestigious Indo-US collaborative research project funded by the Indo-US Science and Technology Forum, conducted jointly with the University of Akron, Ohio, and Northwestern University, Evanston. He is also the recipient of a funded research project titled “Development of Textured Thermo-Hydrodynamic Journal Bearing for Optimum Rotordynamic Performance” awarded by the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB), Department of Science & Technology, Government of India.
Dr. Jagat Jyoti Rath received his Ph.D. in embedded systems and control engineering from Kyungpook National University, South Korea, in 2016. Following his doctorate, he served as a post-doctoral researcher at LAMIH UMR CNRS 8201, France, and later at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany. During this period, he contributed to projects on autonomous and human-machine collaborative driving funded by leading companies such as Renault, Ford, and Continental. From 2020 to 2025, he worked as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at IITRAM, Ahmedabad, India. He is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology (MNNIT), Prayagraj, India. Dr. Rath has published over 30 research papers in reputed international journals and has presented his work at more than 20 conferences. His research interests span across cyber-physical systems, autonomous systems, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), bioinformatics, and the application of machine learning in engineering systems.
Dr. Chouki Sentouh received a Ph.D. degree in automatic control from the University of Evry, France, in 2007.
