Kapil Dev Sharma

I am Kapil Dev Sharma, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering & Technology, Gurukula Kangri (Deemed to be University), Haridwar (Uttarakhand), India. With more than twelve years of academic and teaching experience, I have been actively engaged in delivering quality technical education, mentoring students, and contributing to research and institutional development in the field of Mechanical Engineering.

My academic journey includes an M.Tech in Manufacturing System Engineering from Malviya National Institute of Technology (MNIT), Jaipur, and I am currently pursuing my Ph.D.. Over the years, I have developed strong expertise in both fundamental and applied domains of mechanical engineering, with a focus on sustainable and innovative engineering solutions.

My primary research interests lie in the areas of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Management, Biomethanation (Anaerobic Digestion), Gasification Technologies, and Reliability Engineering tools such as Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA). My research work aims to address real-world environmental and energy challenges by developing efficient waste-to-energy systems and sustainable waste treatment processes.

I have published several research papers in reputed SCI/Scopus/ESCI indexed journals and have presented my findings at national conferences, contributing to the academic and research community. I am also credited with one granted patent and multiple published patents, reflecting my commitment to innovation in renewable energy systems, waste management technologies, and advanced manufacturing processes.

In addition to research, I have actively participated in various Faculty Development Programs (FDPs), workshops, and training programs, including topics such as robotics, industrial automation, renewable energy integration, outcome-based education, and academic research writing. These professional engagements continuously enhance my teaching methodologies and research capabilities.

I have been honored with multiple Best Teacher Awards at both institute and departmental levels, recognizing my dedication to academic excellence, student-centric teaching, and professional contributions.

My broader academic interests include Strength of Materials, Theory of Machines, Fluid Mechanics, IC Engines, and Manufacturing Processes. I remain committed to fostering innovation, promoting sustainable engineering practices, and contributing meaningfully to education, research, and society through my work in Mechanical Engineering.
