Biography
Durwesh Jhodkar is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and currently serves as the Dean of Research and Development at Tulsiramji Gaikwad Patil College of Engineering and Technology, Nagpur, Maharashtra, India. He holds a Ph.D. degree from the Mechanical Engineering Discipline at PDPM Indian Institute of Information Technology Design and Manufacturing (IIITDM), Jabalpur, India. His doctoral research likely contributed to the field of machining tool technology. Prior to his Ph.D., Durwesh Jhodkar earned a Master's degree in Industrial Engineering and Management from SGSITS, Indore, India, in the year 2010. This background suggests a strong foundation in both the technical and managerial aspects of industrial engineering. He has a notable academic background with a decade of teaching experience. Additionally, he has post-doctoral experience from the University of Johannesburg, South Africa. Post-doctoral research is typically undertaken after obtaining a Ph.D., allowing researchers to further specialize in a particular area or explore new avenues of research. Durwesh Jhodkar has made significant contributions to the field, evident from his research articles. His publications cover a range of topics, including Ergonomics Risk Assessment, Human Factors and Advanced Machining Processes.
Prabir Mukhopadhyay, is Associate professor and Head in Design Discipline at PDPM Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design and Manufacturing, Jabalpur, M.P, India. He holds a PhD in Industrial Ergonomics from the University of Limerick, Ireland. He joined the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad, India as an Ergonomist as a faculty in ergonomics. During his tenure at Ahmedabad, he worked on many consultancy projects related to ergonomics. Some of his clients there included the Indian Railways, Self Employed Women’s Association and the United Nation Industrial Development Organization.
