Ashish Shukla Author & Editor

Dr. Shiva Gorjian is an associate professor in the Department of Biosystems Engineering, Faculty of Agriculture, and the Department of Renewable Energy, Faculty of Interdisciplinary Science and Technology, at Tarbiat Modares University (TMU), Tehran, Iran. She received her PhD in mechanics of biosystems engineering from TMU in 2014. She is the editor of the book Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conversion: Technologies, Applications, and Environmental Impacts (Elsevier, 2020). Her main research area is renewable energy applications in agriculture (AgroRenewables). She has been the lead guest editor of a special issue on the same theme in the Journal of Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments (Elsevier) in 2021. Dr. Gorjian's research interests include solar photovoltaics, solar desalination technologies, hybrid PVT systems, energy and exergy analysis, and modeling and simulation of renewable energy systems. Dr. Ashish Shukla received his PhD from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. He was awarded a prestigious FCS fellowship to work at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich, in the Department of Architecture. Currently, he is an assistant professor of building engineering physics at Coventry University in the United Kingdom (UK). He is a prominent building physicist and a sustainability expert. His research interests are building engineering physics, energy management, energy-generating building envelopes, and energy storage. His vision is to design self-evolving climate-responsive sustainable buildings through integrated building design to bring new low-carbon innovations to onsite construction practice. He is also a fellow member of the Higher Education Academy in the UK.
