Prof C D Lokhande is presently working as a Dean and Research Director at D Y Patil Education Society (Deemed to be University), Kolhapur, India. He has been working on several areas of thin film technology, ranging from chemical synthesis of thin films to their applications in solar cells, gas sensors, and supercapacitors. Moreover, he made a great contribution in designing several prototype devices such as supercapacitors and heterojunction-based room temperature gas sensors. He received his Ph.D. from Shivaji University, Kolhapur in 1984, without viva voce examination as his thesis was adjudged as "Excellent." Later, in 1987, he joined as assistant professor in Physics and became professor and Head at Shivaji University, Kolhapur, immediately after accomplishing his first postdoctoral stay at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel. He has won many awards and received many honors. He was appointed as Fellow of Institute of Physics, London, in 1990; was visiting scientist in the Indo-Polish CEP scheme in 1991; was INSA Visiting Fellow in 1993; is the first recipient from Shivaji University of the prestigious Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship, Germany, in 1996 and Brain Pool fellowship of South Korea in 2003; was participant in Noble Laureates Meeting, Lindau, Germany in 2001; was visiting professor at Hanyang University, South Korea in 2006; was awarded a Rajya Shishak Purshakar, Government of Maharashtra State in 2009, and Best Teacher Award from Shivaji University in 2010. He is presently an editorial board member of "Electrochemical Energy Technology," De Gruyter; the fellow, Maharashtra Academy of Sciences from 2012; an expert member, distinguished visiting professor in polymer chemistry, Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai from 2012. He is the author of more than 600 papers in international journals with "h" index 90 and more than 29,000 citations, edited 11 books, filed more than 45 patents, and directed more than 60 Ph.D. theses. Recently, he has been listed at first position in top 2% scientists in the subject of Applied Physics in India by the Stanford University Survey.


Professor Rajan Jose supervises the Nanostructured Renewable Energy Materials Laboratory in the Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) and is the Associate Editor-in-Chief of the Springer Nature journal "Materials Circular Economy". He has investigated nanostructured perovskite ceramics for microwave and superconducting electronics during doctoral research at the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Trivandrum, India and has received PhD degree in the year 2002. He has contributed to the science and engineering of diverse range of materials including metals and alloys, luminescent quantum dots for biological and energy applications, glass and glass ceramics for quantum electronics, and electrochemical materials for energy conversion and storage. He was employed as a scientist at the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (India), AIST (Japan), Toyota Technological Institute (Japan), and the National University of Singapore (Singapore) before joining UMP. He has published over 220 papers in Web of Science (Thomson Reuters) indexed journals which are cited nearly 11000 times with an h-index of 55. He holds 25 patents nationally and internationally. He has been listed as the top 2% Materials Scientists by the Stanford University. He has supervised 6 Postdoctoral, 23 Doctoral, and 10 Master's researchers. His current research interests include circular economy, data science, renewable materials and devices; most of his research is on the structure - property relationship in materials for a desired device functionality.
