Dr. Mayank Pandey completed his Ph.D. in materials science from VIT University, Vellore, India, on the topic “Preparation and characterization of polymer electrolyte for electrochemical device applications”. He then went on to complete his postdoctoral studies in electrical and thermal degradation of graphene-based polymer composite for electronic device applications from CHRIST (Deemed To Be University) Bangalore, India. He is an experienced material physicist with an experimental background in synthesizing graphene quantum dot- (GQDs) based polymer nanocomposites. His research areas also include fabrication of polymer blends and composite electrolytes, organic semiconductor/organic solar cells, and their impedance spectroscopy analysis. Besides investigating the structural, optical, and electronic properties of GQDs based materials, he has also contributed towards the development of new approaches in the field of nanocarbon derivatives. Kalim Deshmukh is a senior researcher at the New Technologies Research Centre, University of West Bohemia, Pilsen, Czech Republic. His research interest is mainly focused on the synthesis, characterization, and property investigations of polymer nanocomposites reinforced with different nanofillers (including various nanoparticles and carbon allotropes such as carbon black, carbon nanotubes, and graphene and its derivatives) for energy storage, energy harvesting, gas sensing, EMI shielding, and high-k dielectric applications. Chaudhery Mustansar Hussain is an adjunct professor and director of laboratories in the Department of Chemistry and Environmental Sciences at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), Newark, New Jersey, United States. His research is focused on the applications of nanotechnology and advanced materials, environmental management, analytical chemistry, and other various industries.
