Decarbonization of Maritime Transport / Energy, Environment, and Sustainability (PDF)

Dr. Burak Zincir has been working at the Marine Engineering Department of Maritime Faculty, Istanbul Technical University, since 2013, and he has been Assistant Professor since 2020 at the same department. His research areas are alternative marine fuels, performance and emissions of marine diesel engines, decarbonization methods and technologies, and energy efficiency on ships. His M.Sc. thesis was on applying hydrogen as marine diesel engine fuel. His Ph.D. thesis focused on an alternative fuel assessment model for ships and experiments on the effect of methanol on diesel engines. He did the experimental part of his Ph.D. study at Lund University, Sweden, in 2018. Istanbul Technical University awarded him "The Most Successful Dissertation Thesis Award" in 2019. He works on alternative marine fuels such as ammonia, biofuels, and electrofuels.

Dr. Pravesh Chandra Shukla is Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bhilai, India. Dr. Shukla received his Ph.D. from IIT Kanpur and has also worked as Senior Research Associate with the institute. He was Postdoctoral Researcher in the Division of Combustion Engines, Department of Energy Sciences, Lund University, Sweden. He briefly worked in Ecole Centrale de Nantes, France, in the field of dual fuel combustion. He is Recipient of Young Scientist Award from the International Society for Energy, Environment and Sustainability. Dr. Shukla mainly works in the field of internal combustion engines and alternative fuels for transportation. He worked on the development of additives for high compression ratio heavy-duty engines fueled with alcohol. He is involved in investigating the emission characteristics for alternative fuels like biodiesel, HVO, and alcohols for conventional and advanced heavy-duty compression ignition engines. During his doctoral, he was mainly involved in physicochemical characterization of diesel engine exhaust using
