Dr. Gabriele Di Blasio is currently Research Scientist at the National Research Council of Italy. His main research interest is focused on advanced technologies and fuels for propulsion and energy conversion systems. He has lead various research projects in the field of internal combustion engine technology and fuel development. He has contributed to private and public projects in cooperation with universities, research centres and OEMs. He received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering in 2012. Formerly Dr. Di Blasio worked as R&D responsible engineer in the industry sector leading projects on the development of dual fuel systems for heavy duty engines. He serves as an editor and reviewer for several indexed journals of national and international repute. He has authored over 70 publications in peer-reviewed journals, conference proceedings, books, book chapters and technical reports. He is a member of SAE International and SAE Engine committee.

Prof. Avinash Kumar Agarwal joined IIT Kanpur in 2001. He worked at the Engine Research Center, UW@Madison, the USA as a Post-Doctoral Fellow (1999 - 2001). His interests are IC engines, combustion, alternate and conventional fuels, lubricating oil tribology, optical diagnostics, laser ignition, HCCI, emissions, and particulate control, 1D and 3D Simulations of engine processes, and large-bore engines. Prof. Agarwal has published 435+ peer-reviewed international journal and conference papers, 70 edited books, 92 books chapters, and 12200+ Scopus and 19000+ Google Scholar citations. He is the associate principal editor of FUEL. He has edited "Handbook of Combustion" (5 Volumes; 3168 pages), published by Wiley VCH, Germany. Prof. Agarwal is a Fellow of SAE (2012), Fellow of ASME (2013), Fellow of ISEES (2015), Fellow of INAE (2015), Fellow of NASI (2018), Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry (2018), and a Fellow of American Association of Advancement in Science (2020).
