Dr. Santosh K. Tiwari received his Ph.D. from IIT Dhanbad, India, in graphene-based polymer nanocomposites and then worked with HSCL, Hanyang University, Seoul, South Korea. In 2019 he joined University of Guangxi, Nanning, China, as a tenured faculty and then moved to Poland where he got prestigious NAWA research grant from Government of Poland and presently working as a scientist in Department of Chemistry, University of Warsaw. His research interests are in the areas of 2D carbon nanomaterials, biomass-based nanostructures, mechanical properties and smart materials Dr. Vijay Kumar is currently working as an assistant professor in the Department of Physics at the  National Institute of Technology Srinagar (J&K), India. His research interests are in the areas of synthesis, processing, and characterization of functional materials, solid-state luminescent materials, bio-based/biodegradable polymers, and composite, drug delivery devices, wastewater treatment, polymer nanocomposites, and ion solid interaction. Professor Sabu Thomas is the founder director and professor of the International and Interuniversity Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology and also a professor of Polymer Science and Engineering at the School of Chemical Sciences of Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, Kerala, India. His ground-breaking inventions in polymer nanocomposites, polymer blends, green bionanotechnology, and nano-biomedical sciences, have made transformative differences in the development of new materials for automotive, space, housing, and biomedical fields.
