Dr. N. Madhusudhana Rao is a professor at the Department of Physics, School of Advanced Sciences, VIT-AP University, Andhra Pradesh, India. His current research areas include dilute magnetic semiconductors (II-VI, IV-VI), transparent conducting oxides, and luminescent materials for optoelectronics. He obtained a Ph.D. in physics from Sri Venkateswara University, India. Dr. Rao has completed three projects funded by various prestigious Indian agencies like DRDO and UGC-DAE-CSR. He has published over 75 research papers, 24 conferences/book/book chapters, and 2 Indian patents. Dr. Rao has guided five Ph.D. students who have completed their degrees. Dr. Rao organized the prestigious 59th DAE Solid State Physics Symposium in collaboration with BARC and BRNS, Department of Atomic Energy, Govt. of India, from 16 to 20 December in VIT University, Vellore.



Dr. Giribabu Lingamallu is a senior principal scientist at CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad, India. He has more than twenty-five years of research experience in the area of materials chemistry that includes Excitonic Solar Cells (Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells / Perovskite Solar Cells), Non-linear Optics, and Donor-Acceptor systems for bio-mimicking natural photosynthesis. Dr. Lingamallu obtained his Ph.D. degree from the University of Hyderabad, India. He was a post-doctoral fellow at Central Queens Land University, Rockhampton, Australia, working in the area of photoinduced reactions in Porphyrin-Alicyclic compounds. From February 2001 to July 2003, he worked as a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Houston, USA, in the area of bi-metallic (di-Rhodium and di-Ruthenium) complexes synthesis, crystal analysis, and electrochemical studies. He moved to CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad, India, in September 2003 as ad-hoc scientist, scientist, senior scientist, principal scientist, and now as senior principal scientist where his group was involved in establishing
