Biography
Dr Vikas Sharma is a senior research fellow at Advanced Engineering Centre (AEC) at University of Brighton. He worked on sustainable low carbon fuel, clean energy, waste to energy, BioMix fuel from waste, advanced low temperature combustion (LTC), Biomass Pyrolysis fuels. Currently at AEC he is working on H2 and NH3 spray analysis, combustion and emissions characteristics. He is an Associate Member of Energy Institute (EI) UK, Associate Member of The Royal Society of Chemistry (AMRSC) and Combustion Institute (CI) British section. He holed Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering/Energy Technologies from Anna University, Chennai, India in 2020. He received research exchange award in Jan.2020 and got visiting Ph.D. studentship at Aston University, Birmingham, UK. In September 2020, He joined as a postdoctoral research fellow in Aston University, on UKIERI funded project waste to engine “Low Temperature Combustion of Sustainable Green Fuels”.
