Dr. Kushvaha has a diversified educational and research background in engineering (Mechanical, Civil, Materials and Biomedical). He earned his Dual Degree (B. Tech. + M. Tech.) from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) in Civil Engineering (Specialization in Structural Engineering). Following that he earned his second master’s and PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering (focused on Fracture Characterization of Composite Materials under Impact Loading) at Auburn University, Auburn, AL, USA. During his PhD, he worked at the Mayo Clinic, the world's most renowned medical institution. His diversified research background led him to publish in various engineering journals, and in several international conferences.

From the Back Cover

When pipeline engineers need to perform repairs, they must do it quickly and effectively. Many standards and codes do not provide the specifics to oil and gas operations nor latest advances. Polymer Composite Systems for Pipeline Repair delivers the latest developments in nanomaterials, specifically polymers and composites that can support pipeline repair in an effective and more environmentally-sound way. Edited by a diverse worldwide group of contributors, the reference touches on the design and manufacturing techniques, patch configurations, hybrid pipes used in harsher environments, and damage detection techniques. High temperature, marine, and cold fluids are also included. Rounding out with economic and environmental impact assessments, Polymer Composite Systems for Pipeline Repair gives today’s oil and gas pipeline engineers a impactful and sustainable tool to safely repair pipelines.
