Reenu Elizabeth John is currently working as an Assistant Professor and Head of Department of Physics at Saintgits College of Engineering, Kerala. She was awarded a doctorate degree from Mahatma Gandhi University, Kerala, in 2019, for her research on 1D transition metal oxides. She has published in reputable international journals and also has co-authored book chapters and edited one book. Her areas of interest include one dimensional nanomaterials, ferroelectric nanomaterials and conducting polymer nanocomposites. She has received project funding from the Centre for Engineering Research and Development (CERD) under the Research Seed Money (RSM) scheme for her work on EMI shielding.Steffy Sara Varghese is currently working as an Assistant Professor in the School of Engineering, Architecture and Interior Design at Amity University, Dubai. She obtained her Ph.D. in 2019 from the Indian Institute of Geomagnetism (IIG), Mumbai, for her research on nonlinear wave structures in Earth’s magnetosphere. She later pursued postdoctoral research at the Space and Planetary Science Center, Khalifa University, UAE. Her research interests span solar-terrestrial interactions, plasma wave theory, and materials science in space. She has published extensively in reputed international journals and also served as a reviewer for international journals. In recognition of her contributions, she received the Young Scientist Award from International Union of Radio Sciences (URSI-GASS) in the year 2023. She is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)Anoop Chandran is an Assistant Professor and Research Advisor in the Physics Department at St. Cyril’s College in Adoor. He received a Ph.D. for his research on 1D semiconductor nanomaterials in 2015. Later that year, the Dr. D. S. Kothari Postdoctoral Fellowship was granted to him for his proposal on semiconductor-CNT/graphene hybrids. He is also a member of the American Chemical Society. He has published extensively in a number of reputable international journals, and he has co-authored several book chapters and edited one book. He has also served as a reviewer for international journals. 1D nanomaterials, dielectrics, photovoltaics, polymer nanocomposites, hybrid conducting composites for EMI shielding, and membrane-based water purification are some of his current research interests.N. V. Unnikrishnan is currently a visiting Professor at Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam. He obtained his doctoral degree from Rohtak University, Delhi for works on mechanism in optical materials under pulsed Laser excitations. In 2003 he became a Professor at Mahatma Gandhi University and served as an Emeritus Professor in the same university from 2014-2019. Prof. Unnikrishnan, during his thirty-two years old teaching career, has so far supervised 32 Ph.D.’s and six post-doctoral fellows. He has completed ten major projects funded by agencies like UGC, CSIR, DAE-DRNS, TWAS etc and published over 290 research papers. He is a former member of American Chemical Society.
