Fundamentals of Fluid Film Lubrication

Prof. M.K. Ghosh received his Bachelor of Science (Mechanical Engineering) degree in 1966 from Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India, M.Tech (1968) and Ph.D. (1979) in Mechanical Engineering respectively from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur, India. Professor Ghosh joined as a faculty member in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at IIT BHU, Varanasi in 1969 and subsequently worked as Professor of Mechanical Engineering since 1993. He has worked as a NRC Research Associate during 1982-1984 and as a Senior NRC Research Associate during 1989-90 at the NASA Lewis (Presently NASA Glenn), Research Center, Cleveland, OH (USA). He was a Professor of Mechanical Engineering in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Kharagpur during 1987-88. Professor Ghosh is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers since 1984, a Life Member of the Tribology Society of India (TSI) and served as a member of the Executive Committee of the TSI during 1995-97. He is a member of the honorary editorial board of the journal "Advances in Vibration Engineering, the scientific journal of the "Vibration Institute of India". He is a recipient of the University Grants Commission of India "Career Award" in Engineering in 1984. Professor Ghosh's areas of research interests lie in Tribology, Vibration and Dynamics & Control of Mechanical Systems. He has published about 60 papers in peer reviewed international journals. Professor Ghosh has supervised about 33 graduate theses and 7 PhD theses.
