Vijay Chaudhary is currently working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Amity University Uttar Pradesh, Noida. He has completed his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the Netaji Subhas University of Technology, University of Delhi.Mudrika Khandelwal is an Associate Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad. She earned her Ph.D. from University of Cambridge (Lucy Cavendish College) and has established herself as a leading researcher in advanced functional materials.Her research focuses on nanocellulose and its applications across diverse areas, including biomedical materials, drug delivery systems, food packaging, energy storage, and nanoscience. A significant part of her work explores bacterial cellulose-based composites and their tunable properties for applications such as lithium-ion batteries, antimicrobial materials, and sustainable filtration technologies. Pallav Gupta is presently working as an Associate Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department of Madan Mohan Malaviya University of Technology, Gorakhpur (INDIA). He completed his B.Tech. from Integral University, Lucknow (INDIA), M.Tech., and Ph.D. from IIT (BHU), Varanasi (INDIA). His research interests include material processing, composite and nanocomposite materials, coatings, wear, and corrosion. Saud Akhtar began his professional career in the semiconductor industry, working across a range of technologies including FinFETs, SOI devices, and non-volatile memories to name a few. Throughout these experiences, what has consistently driven his interest is the underlying chemistry and physics of nanomaterials. Currently, he is working at Global Foundries as Senior Yield Engineer, where he is involved in the Yield Engineering team of 14 nm FinFET technology He completed his degree of Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) in Electronics and Telecommunication from KiiT University, Bhubaneswar, where he developed a strong interest in the fabrication and operation of electronic devices such as MOSFETs and PN junctions.
