Dr. Puneet Verma has worked on wide areas of biodiesel, environmental science, air quality, and diesel particulate matter. He has completed his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Punjab Technical University and M.Tech from IIT Roorkee under the umbrella of MHRD fellowship, India. He was awarded QUTPRA Scholarship for his Ph.D. in environmental engineering, Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Australia. Currently, he is working as Air Quality Scientist, ASK Consulting Engineers, Brisbane, Australia, where he has delivered multiple projects of emission, odor, noise, and dust monitoring at industrial and construction sites. He has also worked as Quality Control Chemist and HSE Specialist, Intertek Testing Services, Australia, and Environmental Research Intern, Puma Energy, Australia. He has published more than 33 research articles in international journals and conferences. He is Member of Clean Air Society of Australia and New Zealand, The American Association for Aerosol Research and Professional Mechanical Engineer (Engineers Australia).

Dr. Olusegun D. Samuel is Full-Time Lecturer and Research Fellow in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun, Delta State, Nigeria. He does research in the process intensification of biofuel production, upgrading of pyrolytic bio-oil and its efficacy of soft computing in its modelling, techno-economic analysis, and general mechanical engineering. He has trained many students in areas of production, renewable energy, tribology, diesel engine performance and emission parameter optimization techniques, degradation of elastomers in alternate fuel, corrosion of automotive parts in biodiesel-based fuel, biogas, residual stress, energy conversion, renewable energy, and thermo-fluids. Their current project is entitled “CFD studies and exergetic analysis of mechanical systems, and techno-economic and sustainability assessments of various combustion-related energy technologies.” He has published more than 70 papers in reputed journals and two chapters in Nova Science Publishers and one in Intech Open. He has widely participated at national and international seminars as keynote and invited speakers and as an external examiner of Ph.D./M.Sc. thesis. He serves as Reviewer to Elsevier (Energy, Journal of Cleaner Production, Fuel, etc.) and Taylor and Francis. He is the editorial board member of reputed journals published by Springer and other SCI indexed Journals.
