Indian Institute of Technology Delhi
Dr Husain Kanchwala is an Assistant Professor at the Centre of Automotive Research and Tribology, IIT Delhi. Prior to this, he was an Assistant Professor at the University of Warwick, United Kingdom (2019–2021). At Warwick, he developed multiple courses on automotive hybridisation and electrification and worked on motorcycle stability. He was a Senior Research Fellow at the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom (2018-2019).He was the project leader or the Multi-Car Collision Avoidance (MuCCA) project, which helped to build a framework to enhance road safety for' autonomous vehicles running in an urban environment. His post-doctoral work at Cranfield University (2017-2018) involved developing an off-road engineering simulator (ORES). This was a hardware-in-the-loop transient dynamometer for testing Jaguar Land Rover vehicles. He obtained his PhD from Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur in Mechanical Engineering in 2017. In doctoral research, he proposed new theoretical formulations for a generalised quarter-car suspension model, modelling of suspension components using fractional derivatives, and Laplace domain model development of a vehicle using low-cost instrumentation systems. His research interests lies in the area of vehicle dynamics and control, vibration of continuous systems, rotor dynamics, battery modelling and hysteresis.
