Computational Methods in Engineering

S.P. Venkateshan obtained his Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, in 1977. After spending three years at Yale University, he joined the Indian Institute of Technology Madras in 1982. He retired as Professor and Head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering in November 2012. Subsequently, he served IIT Madras as Professor Emeritus till November 2016. Since December 2016, he has been Professor Emeritus and Advisor at IIITDM Kancheepuram. He has continued teaching and research during this period. Prof. Venkateshan has taught subjects like heat transfer, thermodynamics, measurements, and computational methods. His research areas are radiation heat transfer, conjugate heat transfer-experimental and numerical, measurement of thermo-physical properties by inverse heat transfer methods, and instrumentation. He has supervised 30 doctoral and 25 Master by research candidates at IIT Madras. In addition to more than 200 published research papers to his credit, Prof. Venkateshan has also authored two books-- Heat Transfer and Mechanical Measurements.

Prasanna Swaminathan obtained his Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras in 2013. After working as a postdoctoral researcher in different laboratories in the Paris region, he joined as a full-time researcher at LSPM, a CNRS laboratory associated with University Sorbonne Paris Nord, Paris, in 2016. His main area of interest is modeling and designing microwave-based plasma sources for the elaboration of novel materials such as CVD diamond and graphene.

S.P. Venkateshan於1977年從印度科學研究所獲得博士學位。在耶魯大學待了三年後，他於1982年加入印度馬德拉斯理工學院。他於2012年11月退休，退休前擔任機械工程系教授和系主任。隨後，他擔任馬德拉斯理工學院的名譽教授，直到2016年11月。自2016年12月起，他擔任IIITDM Kancheepuram的名譽教授和顧問。在此期間，他一直從事教學和研究工作。Venkateshan教授教授過傳熱、熱力學、測量和計算方法等科目。他的研究領域包括輻射傳熱、共軛傳熱-實驗和數值方法、逆向傳熱方法測量熱物性和儀器設計。他在馬德拉斯理工學院指導了30名博士和25名碩士研究生。除了發表200多篇研究論文外，Venkateshan教授還撰寫了兩本書籍--《熱傳遞》和《機械測量》。

Prasanna Swaminathan於2013年從印度馬德拉斯理工學院獲得博士學位。在巴黎地區的不同實驗室擔任博士後研究員後，他於2016年加入了LSPM，這是一個與巴黎北索邦大學聯合的CNRS實驗室。他的主要研究領域是建模和設計基於微波的等離子體源，用於製備新材料，如CVD鑽石和石墨烯。
