"Dr. Ram Gupta is an Associate Professor at Pittsburg State University. Dr. Gupta’s research focuses on nanomagnetism, nanomaterials, green energy production and storage using conducting polymers and composites, electrocatalysts for fuel cells, optoelectronics and photovoltaics devices, organic-inorganic hetero-junctions for sensors, bio-based polymers, bio-compatible nanofibers for tissue regeneration, scaffold and antibacterial applications, bio-degradable metallic implants. Dr. Gupta published over 240 peer-reviewed articles, made over 300 national/international/ regional presentations, chaired many sessions at national/international meetings, edited/written several books/chapters for leading publishers. He has received over two and half million dollars for research and educational activities from external agencies. He is serving as Associate Editor, Guest editor, and editorial board member for various journals. Dr. Sanjay Mishra joined the Department of Physics at the University of Memphis in 1999. He has been consistently productive in research, instruction, and service to the University of Memphis (UoM) since 1999. Dr. Mishra initiated an active multidisciplinary research program in materials science at the UoM. Before receiving postdoctoral experience from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the University of California-Berkeley at the Advanced Light Source Synchrotron Facility, he received his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Missouri-Rolla, MO, MS from Pittsburg State University, Pittsburg, KS, MSc. from the South Gujarat University, Surat, India, and Post Graduate Diploma in Space Sciences from Gujarat University, Ahmedabad, India. Dr. Mishra's research work focuses on magnetic nanomaterials and nanocomposites (exchange biased and exchange spring-nanocomposites), magnetic nanocomposites for drug delivery, carbon nanospheres as a template for the growth of nanostructures, nanorods for microwave devices, hard coating materials, bio implantable polymers, and solar energy-related materials. Tuan Anh NGUYEN has completed his BSc in Physics from Hanoi University in 1992, and his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Paris Diderot University (France) in 2003. He was a Visiting Scientist at Seoul National University (South Korea, 2004) and the University of Wollongong (Australia, 2005). He then worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate & Research Scientist at Montana State University (USA), 2006-2009. In 2012, he was appointed as Head of Microanalysis Department at the Institute for Tropical Technology (Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology). He has managed 4 Ph.D. theses as thesis director and 3 are in progress; He is Editor-In-Chief of ""Kenkyu Journal of Nanotechnology & Nanoscience"" and Founding Co-Editor-In-Chief of ""Current Nanotoxicity & Prevention"". He is the author of 4 Vietnamese books and Editor of 32 Elsevier books in the Micro & Nano Technologies Series."
