Dr Vikas Sharma is a senior research fellow at Advanced Engineering Centre (AEC) at University of Brighton. He worked on sustainable low carbon fuel, clean energy, waste to energy, BioMix fuel from waste, advanced low temperature combustion (LTC), Biomass Pyrolysis fuels. Currently at AEC he is working on H₂ and NH₃ spray analysis, combustion and emissions characteristics. He is an Associate Member of Energy Institute (EI) UK, Associate Member of The Royal Society of Chemistry (AMRSC) and Combustion Institute (CI) British section. He holed Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering/Energy Technologies from Anna University, Chennai, India in 2020. He received research exchange award in Jan.2020 and got visiting Ph.D. studentship at Aston University, Birmingham, UK. In September 2020, He joined as a postdoctoral research fellow in Aston University, on UKIERI funded project waste to engine “Low Temperature Combustion of Sustainable Green Fuels”. He gained depth knowledge of fuel production and combustion in off-road engine application. In Jan.2022, He joined knowledge exchange research fellow on ERDF funded project on “Wood biomass pyrolysis”, he worked upgradation of bio-oil, bio-oil, biogas characterisation, bio-oil blends and engine combustion and emissions. In Jan.2023, He joined as senior research fellow on MariNH3 EPSRC funded project (marinh3.ac.uk). He is working to improve ammonia (NH3) utilisation for marine engine application. He completed 4 funded project (2 national and 2 international). He published +25 research articles in high impact factor journals, 1 book chapter, 2 books (LASER Ignition System for CNG Engine”, ISBN-13: 978-3656720058, Let’s Start Your Career, ISBN 9781365915178). He supervised 4 Ph.D. and master thesis and 13 undergraduate final year projects. He delivered more than 6 guest lecture as invited talk on various universities. He participated about 16 international and 8 national conferences. He is a Review Editor for Journal of Process and Energy Systems Engineering (JPESE) in frontiers energy research, Editorial Member of the Journal of Advanced Energy Conversion Materials (AECM) Universal Wiser Publisher, Singapore, and International Journal of Sustainable and Green Energy (IJSGE), Science Publishing Group.
