Somnath Roy is an Associate Professor at Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. Dr. Roy received his Masters' degree in Mechanical Engineering from IIT Kanpur in 2004, and Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Louisiana State University, USA in 2010. Before joining IIT Kharagpur, he worked as a research associate and visiting Assistant Professor at Louisiana State University, USA and as an Assistant Professor at Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. His research interest is turbulence, arterial flows, moving boundary flow simulation, high performance computing using cluster and GPGPUs. His primary area of work is computational fluid dynamics (CFD). He has hosted two GIAN programs on computational methods and has also offered online course (NPTEL) on matrix solvers. His group works on developing immersed boundary method (IBM) based computationally efficient algorithms to solve moving boundary problems and on utilizing these implementations to predict flow and heat transfer in engineering and biological applications. Ashoke De is currently working as Associate Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. Dr. De received his Masters' degree in Aerospace Engineering from IIT Kanpur in 2004, and Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Louisiana State University, USA in 2009. Before joining IIT Kanpur, he worked as a post-doctoral scholar at Technical University of Delft (TU-Delft), Netherlands and as Research Engineer in GE Global Research at Bangalore. He is the recipient of many awards and fellowships including the Humboldt Research fellowship (2018), DAAD Fellowship (2016) and GE Global Research's Expertise Award (2010), among others. Dr. De leads large-scale initiatives in the modeling of turbulent reacting and non-reacting flows at IIT Kanpur. His current research interests include combustion modeling, hybrid RANS/LES model development, supersonic flows and Fluid-Structure interactions (FSI). His
