Professor in the Metallurgical & Materials Department at the National Institute of Technology, Rourkela. He completed his PhD at IIT-Kharagpur in 2016. He received the National "IEI Young Engineer Award" in 2022, "Yuva Rattan Award" in 2020, "C.V. Raman Award" in 2019, and "young faculty award" in 2017. He has published more than 180 publications, including books, Book chapters, and Journals. 05 PhD students awarded under his supervision and more than 10 PhD students are from his institute/outside the institute are working on different projects with him. Currently, he has published one textbook "Advanced Materials" which is a recognized book worldwide (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-80359-9). Currently, assigned as The Honorary Secretary of The Institution of Engineers (India), Rourkela. His area of research is high temperature materials, surface engineering, smart materials, aero-space materials and characterization of materials. He is one of the Director of AMPRE ENGG. PVT. LTD. (https://ampre.co.in/) which target is to design the materials for the aero-industries using ‘additive manufacturing’ technique. Siamak Farhad is Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, at The University of Akron,Ohio, USA. His primary and secondary research fields are energy and measurement, with a focus on energy, both energy conversion and storage, with particular emphasis on batteries, fuel cells, and piezoelectrics, from nano/microstructure design to the cell, device and system design. His focus in the field of measurement is on new sensors, is interdisciplinary and linked to nanotechnology, electrochemistry, thermal science, and material science. His research is based on both modeling and experiment; the selected research topics are, recycling and regeneration of lithium-ion battery materials, optimization of electrodes nano/microstructure for lithium battery, ceramic solid-state lithium battery, and piezoelectric materials for sensor and energy harvester. Tuan Anh Nguyen is a Senior Principal Research Scientist at the Institute for Tropical Technology, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, Hanoi, Vietnam. He received a BS in physics from Hanoi University in 1992, a BS in economics from Hanoi National Economics University in 1997, and a PhD in chemistry from the Paris Diderot University, France, in 2003. He was a Visiting Scientist at Seoul National University, South Korea, in 2004, and the University of Wollongong, Australia, in 2005. He then worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate and Research Scientist at Montana State University, United States in 2006-09. In 2012 he was appointed as the Head of the Microanalysis Department at the Institute for Tropical Technology. His research areas of interest include smart sensors, smart networks, smart hospitals, smart cities, complexiverse, and digital twins.
