Dr. Akshay Dvivedi, a Visiting Associate Professor at Industrial Systems Engineering (ISE) Program of Asian Institute of Technology, Bangkok, is anAssociate Professor in the Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department of the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, Roorkee, Uttarakhand, India.Dr. Dvivedi graduated in Mechanical Engineering from Jiwaji University, Gwalior followed by Master of Technology in Production and Industrial Systems Engineering from IIT Roorkee. He was awarded doctoral degree from IIT. Roorkee. Dr. Dvivedi has 18 years of experience in academics and industry. Before joining IIT Roorkee, he has worked as Principle Scientist, Centre of Excellence in Manufacturing at Research Technology and Innovation Centre, Thermax India.

He has authored more than 100 research papers published in reputed international journals and conference proceedings. He has authored 9 books/book chapters based on his research works. He is a member of several national and international advisory committees. He has handled several sponsored research projects and industrial consultancy projects. He has been quite active in supervising master’s and doctoral research. He is currently involved with research projects on microfabrication and development of Lab-on-a-Chip Devices.

Dr. Dvivedi is an active researcher. He has developed many research and experimentation facilities at IIT Roorkee. These include Ultrasonic Micromachining, Ultrasonic Turning, Grinding assisted Electrochemical Discharge Machining, Near-Dry Electric Discharge Machining, Electric Discharge Form Machining, Rotary Electric Discharge Machining, Powder Electric Discharge Machining, Stir casting, Powder Mixed Rotary Tool Electro Discharge Deposition Process. Also, he has contributed in the development of an innovative device for creating tissue plane cleavage by the hydro – dissection method. This device has reduced cleft palate surgery time to nearly half, and had brought down the complication rate to near Zero. He has been facilitated with several technical awards and social recognitions. He is also honoured with OutstandingTeacherAward by IIT Roorkee.

Dr. Dvivedi has taught a number of under-graduate and postgraduate courses including Advanced Manufacturing Processes, Quality Management, Principles of Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Techniques, Manufacturing Technology,
Non-traditional Machining and Total Quality Management.  Noteworthy in his teaching efforts are interactive activities and practical orientation of course including case studies which serve to improve student receptivity.
