Dr. Shubham Gupta is a postdoctoral researcher at Queen Mary University of London, with academic training from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi. His research focuses on tribology, biomechanics, and contact mechanics, with particular emphasis on friction and wear in human-surface interactions. His scholarly work includes several peer-reviewed publications in international journals, contributing to a growing body of research on material behavior, surface interactions, and applied biomechanics. He is also the author of the book "Footwear Traction", where he explored the fundamental principles governing grip, slip resistance, and safety in footwear systems. Building on this foundation, his research contributes to the understanding of frictional performance, durability, and comfort in footwear applications. Dr. Gupta's research integrates experimental and analytical approaches to study complex contact phenomena under realistic loading and environmental conditions.

Pramod Yadav is currently a Ph.D. research scholar at the Centre for Biomedical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi. His research centers on mechanical engineering, covering areas spanning tribology, fluid mechanics, and transport phenomena in complex systems.
