About the Author: Prof. Dr. Amaresh Chakrabarti is Professor of Engineering Design at Centre for Product Design and Manufacturing at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. He has a BE in Mechanical Engineering from University of Calcutta, India, ME in Mechanical Systems Design from Indian Institute of Science and a PhD from University of Cambridge, UK in Engineering Design. After PhD, Professor Chakrabarti led for ten years the Design Synthesis team at the EPSRC Centre for Excellence Engineering Design Centre at the University of Cambridge, before joining Indian Institute of Science. Professor Chakrabarti worked extensively in the areas of design synthesis and creativity, eco-design and sustainability and knowledge engineering and management and authored/edited 9 books (5 published by Springer), over 250 peer-reviewed articles, and has 9 patents and 2 software copyrights granted/pending. Outcomes of research from his group has led to various models, methods and tools that have been absorbed in Design Practice by organisations as diverse as Boeing, Pratt & Whitney, ISRO and IMI, and Rolls Royce. With Professor Lucienne Blessing, Professor Chakrabarti co-authored DRM, a design research methodology used widely around the world as a framework for carrying out engineering design research. Professor Chakrabarti is an Associate Editor of AI EDAM Journal (Cambridge University Press), Area Editor for Research in Engineering Design (Springer), Regional Editor for Journal for Remanufacturing (Springer), Advisory Editor for Journal of Engineering Design (Taylor & Francis), Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy (Springer) and five other international journals. Prof. Chakrabarti is on the Advisory Board of The Design Society, UK. Professor Chakrabarti founded IDeASLab - the first laboratory in India for research into design creativity, sustainability and innovation. Prof. Chakrabarti is an Honorary Fellow of the Institution of Engineering Designers, the only peer society
under the Royal Charter in the UK representing engineering design as a profession.
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Udo Lindemann is Professor at the Chair of Product Development, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Technical University Munich (TUM), Germany.

During 1998 2007, he took up positions of the Dean for Study Matters, Assistant Dean and Dean of Mechanical Engineering. Between 1999 2007, he was a Member of the Supervisory Board of FH Munich (University of Applied Sciences). In 2006, he co-founded TESEON GmbH, Garching, Germany. Since 2007, he has been a Member of the Academic Senate of TUM (re-elected until 2013, acting as chairman since 2010). Since 2007, he has also been an internal member of the TUM Supervisory Board (since 2010 its vice-chairman). Professor Lindemann is a Co-Editor of the Journal Konstruktion (VDI-Springer Germany) and is on the Editorial Board of several international journals including Design Studies, Design Research and Research in Engineering Design. He authored / co-authored over ten books, edited over ten books and authored / co-authored more than 500 publications. He is an elected member of Acatech, member of the International Advisory Board of Politecnico di Torino, member of WiGeP (German scientific organization in product development/engineering design), member of the Design Society (and was its president during 2007-2010), member of the Scientific Board of international conferences, on the Steering Committee of EDC (Engineering Design Centre) University Cambridge, UK and a member of the council of charities Schäffler-FAG and Zeidler-Forschungsstiftung. His research interests include: design theory, methods, product design: innovative and creative design; design representations; creative problem solving; product design methodologies; integrated product development; industrial design; entrepreneurship; design to cost; knowledge management; co-operation and collaboration in distributed teams; lean development; structural complexity; change management; and strategic planning.
