Dr. Ashok Kundapur, is by training a Biologist, with a Doctorate in Applied Biology from University of Bombay. For the past 30 years he has been teaching Biology and Zoology for undergraduates, and retired since 2002. But he is still active and trying to reach the public through articles in media on environmental protections, alternate energy sources and related topics.

His deep concern for ever deteriorating environment diverted his attention to alternate sources of Energy. He wanted to fabricate a solar cooker for personal use, and his request to Volunteers in Technical Assistance, USA (VITA),and Tata Energy Research Institute (TERI) resulted receiving mountains of information. Later, he compiled the information and presented it as a review article in the year 1995 at a local conference. The review attracted the attention of TERI and they published it in their quarterly TIDE. Ms. Bev Blum of Solar Cookers International suggested that he put this important review on the net. Now SCI requested him to add the article to their portal in wikia. Earlier UNESCO has invited him to write a review on solar cookers for their online Encyclopedia EOLSS. The article is being scrutinized, prior to publication. These activities naturally have won him an acclaim as international solar cooker expert.

Apart from solar cookers, he is seriously involved with environmental protection and sustainable development joining hands with other like minded people.

He is also interested in low cost solar water heaters, harnessing wave power and muscle power. His latest fad however, is to evolve a Solar Electric Car, which would run at 120 kmph and cover at least 60 km through power derived from solar panels.

Please feel free to contact Dr Kundapur at arkundapur@yahoo.com, mentioning solar or solar cooker in the subject.

Ashok Kundapur is the author of the Compendium of solar cooker designs.
