Dr. Kunal Biswas is currently a Scientist at the Centre for Nanoscience & Nanotechnology at the Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology in Chennai. He received his Master’s degree in Nanoscience and Technology from the Department of Physics, Tezpur Central University, Assam, India and his PhD in Nanobiotechnology from Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology, West Benga. He has more than 8 years of research experience in Nano-Bio sciences. He has been working in the field of carbonaceous nanomaterials and its widespread applications ranging from material sciences to biotechnology. His area of research is nano-biotechnology which include material engineering, nano-bio sensors, sensor fabrication, nanotechnology, synthetic biology, the nano-bio interface, and application of machine learning (ml) and deep learning (dl) techniques in materials science and engineering. He has contributed book chapters and published in peer-reviewed SCI-indexed journals like Frontiers in Microbiology, Molecules, Nanobiotechnology, and Materials Focus. Dr. Yugal Kishore Mohanta is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Biology, School of Biological Sciences at the University of Science and Technology Meghalaya (USTM). His current research is green nanoparticles and its potential application in food and biomedicine. He earned his PhD in Life Sciences from North Orissa University, Baripada. He has also successfully completed the BCIL industrial training programme on Plant Tissue Culture sponsored by the Department of Biotechnology. Among other academic/research achievements, he was awarded as visiting research scholar at Department of Biology, KU Leuven, Belgium sponsored by KU Leuven. He has more than ten years research experience on natural products chemistry and nanobiotechnology. He has published in peer-reviewed SCI-indexed journals like BMC Plant Biology, Frontiers in Microbiology, Molecules, Frontiers on Plant science, Frontiers in molecular biosciences Nanobiotechnology, and Materials Focus. He has also contributed 11 book chapters and edited a book. Dr. Tapan Kumar Mohanta is currently a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Nizwa in Oman. Before joining the University of Nizwa, Dr. Mohanta was working as a Research Professor at Yeungnam University, Gyeongsan, South Korea. Dr. Mohanta also worked as a postdoctoral research associate at the G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pant Nagar, India and the National Institute of Plant Genome Research, New Delhi, India. To his credit, Dr. Mohanta has more than 70 SCI/SCI-E indexed peer-reviewed research publications in Q1, Q2, and Q3 journals in the field of plant genomics, molecular biology, metabolomics, and nanomaterial science.
