Welcome to my Website !!!

Hello Everyone!!

I am Sam Joe, a Ph.D. student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering specializing in Fluid and Thermal sciences at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. I work in the field of Advanced Internal Combustion Engine Technologies and Alternate Fuels under the guidance of Prof. Avinash Kumar Agarwal.

This website aims to provide you with a brief introduction to me, my research, and more...

Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, established in 1959, is one of the premier institutions established by the Government of India.

It is consistently ranked among the top 5 Technical Institutions in India and is currently ranked 277 in QS World University Rankings.

IIT Kanpur is academically organized into 18 academic departments and 5 interdisciplinary programs.

Engine Research Laboratory was created in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Kanpur in 2005 under the supervision of Prof. Avinash Kumar Agarwal. The aim of this laboratory is to develop state-of-art experiments related to Internal Combustion engines and vehicles apart from emission and engine-related tribological investigations.

This is a dedicated lab for IC Engines which aspires to be the first lab in the country to use laser diagnostics and micro-sensors for engines. This dedicated engine research lab paves the way for a balanced development of this front-line area of research. The lab has two optical engines and several fully instrumented single and multi-cylinder engine test benches for different types of engines/dynamometers.
