Concentrated Solar Thermal Energy Technologies

Dr. Laltu Chandra (PhD, 2005, University of Karlsruhe Germany) has experience in experimental and numerical heat transfer and fluid mechanics. His interest is on the nuclear and concentrated solar thermal sub-systems design, development and evaluation. Recently, he has developed open volumetric air receiver based solar convective furnace system for metals processing. He has authored several research publications in international journal, as book chapters and in conference proceedings. Dr. Ambesh Dixit (PhD, 2010, Wayne State University MI, USA) has experience in computational and experimental condensed matter physics with special emphasis on design and development of materials for energy applications. He is currently working on the development of materials for energy conversion and storage. He has authored several research publications in international journal and in conference proceedings.
