Dr. Ravindra Arora retired from Indian Institute of Technology
Kanpur in May 2008, where he worked for thirty-four years. At IITK,
he established a unique high voltage laboratory, where he conducted
research activity for more than forty master's theses, two PhDs,
and a large number of undergraduate projects, besides having
completed several industry-sponsored projects. He has been a Senior
Member of IEEE since 1988 and is a Life Member of the Institution
of Engineers (India).

Dr. Wolfgang Mosch retired as head and chair professor of the
Institute of High Voltage Technology in the Electrical Engineering
(Power) Division of Technical University Dresden, Germany, in 1993.
He has been actively involved with teaching, research, and industry
in high voltage and insulation engineering since 1960.
