"Dr. Ram Gupta is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at Pittsburg State University. He is the Director of Research at the National Institute for Materials Advancement (NIMA). Dr. Gupta has been recently named by Stanford University as being among the top 2% of research scientists worldwide. Before joining Pittsburg State University, he worked as an Assistant Research Professor at Missouri State University, Springfield, MO then as a Senior Research Scientist at North Carolina A&T State University, Greensboro, NC. Dr. Gupta’s research spans a range of subjects critical to current and future societal needs including: semiconducting materials & devices, biopolymers, flame-retardant polymers, green energy production & storage using nanostructured materials & conducting polymers, electrocatalysts, optoelectronics & photovoltaics devices, organic-inorganic heterojunctions for sensors, nanomagnetism, biocompatible nanofibers for tissue regeneration, scaffold & antibacterial applications, and bio-degradable metallic implants. Dr. Ajit Behera is an Assistant Professor in the Metallurgical and Materials Department at the National Institute of Technology, India. He completed his Ph.D. from IIT-Kharagpur in 2016. Dr. Behera has received several prestigious awards, including the National ""Yuva Rattan Award"" in 2020, the ""Young Faculty Award"" in 2017, and the ""C.V. Raman Award"" in 2019. His research interests encompass smart materials, additive manufacturing, 3D & 4D printing, NiTi-alloys, plasma surface engineering, nanotechnology, magnetron-sputtered thin film, cryo-treatment, and the utilization of industrial waste. Dr. Behera has also contributed to the field with the publication of two patents related to smart materials. 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 Principal Research Scientist at the Institute for Tropical Technology, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, Hanoi, Vietnam. His research focuses on advanced nanomaterials and nanotechnology for corrosion and materials integrity in transportation systems. His research activities include smart coatings, conducting polymers, corrosion and protection of metals/concrete, antibacterial materials, and advanced nanomaterials."
