Introduction To Biomaterials Science And Engineering, An

Dr A Sandeep Kranthi Kiran is a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, National University of Singapore (NUS). He received his PhD degree from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, India and NUS, Singapore under the prestigious "IIT Madras-NUS Joint PhD Doctoral Programme". For the year 2019-2020 he received the Institute Research Award from IIT Madras on recognition of quantity and quality of research work done in his doctoral studies. His research interests include the fabrication of electrospun nanostructure materials, 3D printing, metallic nanostructured biomaterials, and antimicrobial ceramic coatings. He is currently working on the development of anti-viral coatings for 3D printed facemasks.Professor Seeram Ramakrishna, FREng is the Director of Center for Nanofibers and Nanotechnology at National University of Singapore (https://www.nature.com/articles/nj0232.pdf?draft=marketing). He is regarded as the guru of electrospinning and nanofibers (http://nart2020.com/conferenceinfo/). Microsoft Academic ranked him among the top 36 salient authors out of three million materials researchers worldwide (https://academic.microsoft.com/authors/192562407). He is named among the World's Most Influential Minds (Thomson Reuters), and the Top 1% Highly Cited Researchers in materials science and cross-field categories (Clarivate Analytics). He received his PhD from University of Cambridge, UK; and TGMP from Harvard University, USA. He is appointed as the Honorary Everest Chair of MBUST, Nepal. He is an elected Fellow of UK Royal Academy of Engineering (FREng); Singapore Academy of Engineering; Indian National Academy of Engineering; ASEAN Academy of Engineering & Technology; International Union of Societies of Biomaterials Science and Engineering (FBSE); Institution of Engineers Singapore; ISTE, India; Institution of Mechanical Engineers and Institute of Materials, Minerals & Mining, UK; American Association of the Advancement of Science; ASM International; American Society for Mechanical Engineers; American Institute for Medical & Biological Engineering; and International Association of Advanced Materials (FIAAM). He chairs the Circular Economy taskforce at NUS, and is a member of Enterprise Singapore's and International Standards Organization's Committees on ISO/TC323 Circular Economy and Circularity. He is the Editor-in-Chief of Springer Nature journal Materials Circular Economy. He is an editorial board member of Springer Nature journal Advanced Fiber Materials; Elsevier journal Current Opinion in Biomedical Engineering; and Nature journal Scientific Reports. He is an opinion contributor to the Springer Nature Sustainability Community (https://sustainabilitycommunity.springernature.com/users/98825-seeram-ramakrishna/posts/looking-through-covid-19-lens-for-a-sustainable-new-modern-society).

"It covers all key points that a book in the field of biomaterials should include ... the authors have considered to include more application-related chapters ... I am convinced that Professor Seeram Ramakrishna and his co-author have delivered a top-class textbook."; Aldo R Boccaccini; Professor and Head of Institute of Biomaterials; University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany; "In the past two decades biomaterials have been witnessed to play an extraordinary role in safeguarding human healthcare by being used either for developing medical implants, therapeutic drugs or diagnostic agents. Many universities around the world have established biomaterials relevant biomedical programs to educate R&D talents in this field. Whilst an even more glorious future of biomaterials can be foreseen, there still lacks the introductory textbook to better serve educational purposes, especially in consideration of the necessity of integrating recent advances and future developing trends into the text. Therefore, the textbook initiated by Professor Seeram Ramakrishna and his colleagues with its wide content spectrum covering human disabilities and diseases, human body systems, tissue microstructures, biomaterial biocompatibility, classes of biomaterials, medical device regulation issues, surface engineering, tissue engineering / regenerative medicine, drug delivery and 3D printing, and so on, will be very useful to a wide readership not only to university undergraduate and graduate students but also to those researchers and professionals interested in acquiring or broadening knowledge in fundamental biomaterials science and engineering."; Yanzhong Zhang; Professor; Donghua University, China
