Prof. Sabu Thomas is a Professor of Polymer Science and Engineering and the Director of the School of Energy Materials at Mahatma Gandhi University, India. Additionally, he is the Chairman of the Trivandrum Engineering Science & Technology Research Park (TrEST Research Park) in Thiruvananthapuram, India. He is the founder director of the International and Inter-university Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology at Mahatma Gandhi University and the former Vice-Chancellor of the same institution. Prof. Thomas is internationally recognized for his contributions to polymer science and engineering, with his research interests encompassing polymer nanocomposites, elastomers, polymer blends, interpenetrating polymer networks, polymer membranes, green composites, nanocomposites, nanomedicine, and green nanotechnology. His groundbreaking inventions in polymer nanocomposites, polymer blends, green bionanotechnology, and nano-biomedical sciences have significantly advanced the development of new materials for the automotive, space, housing, and biomedical fields. Dr. Thomas has been conferred with Honoris Causa (DSc) by the University of South Brittany, France. Prof. Oumarou Savadogo is Full Professor and UNESCO Chair on Sustainable Engineering and Applied Solar Technologies, at Polytechnique Montréal, Quebec, Canada. With a background in materials science, he was also previously a process engineer at Rhône-Siltec (production of silicon for photovoltaic solar cells) and a postdoctoral fellow at CNRS-Bellevue, both in France. At Polytechnique Montréal, he is Founding Director of the Laboratory of New Materials for Energy and Electrochemistry, and is responsible for the graduate programs on Renewable Energy in Energy Engineering and Energy and Sustainable Development in Chemical Engineering. Prof. Savadogo’s research interests include the development of new materials for solar energy, fuel cells, batteries, electrochemical capacitors, electrochemistry, metallurgical processes, corrosion, and microbial cells. He is author or co-author of more than 200 scientific publications in refereed scientific journals, Founding Editor of the Journal of New Materials for Electrochemical Systems, and a member of the advisory/editorial boards of the Journal of Enzyme Engineering, the Journal of Materials, Membranes, and Discover Energy. He is also member of the Broad of Directors and Advisory Board of the International Hydrogen Energy Association. Amadou Belal Gueye is a Research Scholar at the School of Chemical Sciences, Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, India. He received his bachelor’s degree in physics-chemistry and his master’s degree in physical chemistry applied to energy and analysis, from Cheikh Anta Diop University, Dakar, Senegal. He works in the field of lithium/sulfur batteries. Dr. Hanna J. Maria is a Senior Researcher at the International and Inter University Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Mahatma Gandhi University, India. She previously held postdoctoral research positions at the Centre for Advanced Materials, Qatar University, the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Yamaguchi University, Japan, the Centre RAPSODEE, IMT Mines, Albi, France, and the Siberian Federal University, Krasnoyarsk, Russia. Dr. Maria has published 20 articles and 10 book chapters, and co-edited 4 books. Her research has focused on natural rubber composites and their blends, thermoplastic composites, lignin, nanocellulose, bio-nanocomposites, nanocellulose, rubber-based composites and nanocomposites, and hybrid nanocomposites.
