Dr. Shanmuga Sundar Dhanabalan is an accomplished researcher with a proventrack record in designing developing and translating micro- and nano-scale devices.His primary objective is to create next-generation products that enhance quality oflife and well-being making a signicant contribution to society. He currently leadinga team wearable and connected sensors at RMIT University with a focus on mate-rials exible and stretchable devices wearables optics and photonics. He graduatedwith a PhD in exible electronics in June 2017 and secured a competitive postdoctoralfellowship from the Chilean government from 2018 to 2021. His studies have led topublications in referred international journals book chapters and books in progressas editor. He has presented plenary/keynote invited talks and guest lectures oraland poster presentations at scientic meeting at various universities world-wide.Several outcomes have been highlighted by scientic websites (such as PhotonicsMedia USA). His research work has led to securing grants from Australian govern-ment research schemes such as the Cooperative Research Centres Projects the ARCResearch Hub for Connected Sensors for Health Victorian Medical Research Accel-eration Fund and the Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centres CommercialisationFund. He has collaborations with universities from various countries including IndiaAustralia Chile Mexico and Bangladesh. He has served as a reviewer for over 20prestigious specialist journals. He also served as a topical editor for highly reputedjournals including IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics IEEE Instrumenta-tion and Measurement Magazine IEEE Energies Computer and Electrical Engi-neering. He is a part of the Editorial Board of American Journal of Optics andPhotonics. In addition he served as a session chair and technical committee memberin various international conferences. Dr. Arun Thirumurugan is a Academic Faculty at the University of ATACAMAworking on the development of magnetic nanocomposite for energy storage andbiological applications. He has completed his Ph.D. (20102015) at the NationalInstitute of Technology (NIT) Tiruchirappalli India. He has worked as a post-doctoral fellow (20152017) at the Institute of Physics Bhubaneswar India andthen worked as a FONDECYT postdoctoral fellow (20172020) at the University ofChile Santiago Chile. His research interests are synthesizing magnetic nanoparti-cles surface modication of nanomaterials for the potential applications in detox-ication photocatalyst energy storage and biomedical applications. Dr. Thirumu-rugan acts as a reviewer for various journals from different eminent publishers. He isediting a topical issue on magnetic nanomaterials and carbonaceous nanocompositesin the Frontiers publishing group. He edited two books. He published more than 90international journals book chapters and conference proceedings. Dr. Ramesh Raju is a staff scientist at Aalto University. His research focuses on III-V materials growth and fabrication for optoelectronics applications and 2D mate-rials growth and fabrication for photonics applications. During his Ph.D. at AnnaUniversity Chennai India his research focused on III-Nitride materials growthby metal organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) for optoelectronics applications.After obtaining his Ph.D. degree he moved to China where he worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the Nanophotonics Laboratory College of Physics HunanUniversity (HNU) China. At HNU he designed the growth setup for 2D material-based heterostructure for photonics applications. Since he is experienced indifferentgrowth fabrication and characterization skills there is a natural scientic overlapwith optoelectronics photonics nanotechnology and micro and quantum activities.In 2017 he started working with the optoelectronics and micro and quantum systemgroup at Aalto University Finland. At Aalto University his research is towards III-Nitrides for optoelectronics and PEC water splitting applications. He published morethan 35 research articles/conference proceedings based on his work in India and otherinternational research at various universities. Dr. Ramesh Raju acts as a reviewer forvarious journals from different eminent publishers. Dr. Sathish-Kumar Kamaraj is a research professor at Instituto PolitécnicoNacional (IPN) Centro de Investigación en Ciencia Aplicada y Tecnología Avan-zada Unidad Altamira (IPN-CICATA Altamira). He would like to express his grat-itude to the DirectorGeneral of Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN) and Directorof Centro de Investigación en Ciencia Aplicada y Tecnología Avanzada UnidadAltamira (CICATA Altamira) for their constant support and facilities able to promotethe research activities. Extended his gratitude to the Secretaria de Investigación yPosgrado (SIP) for project number 20231443. He received B.Sc. in Botany special-ized in Industrial Microbiology masters in Microbiology and a postgraduate inChemical Information Technology at Madurai Kamaraj University Tamil NaduIndia. He obtained a Doctorate in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (20102014)from The Centre for Research and Advanced Studies of the National PolytechnicInstitute (CINVESTAV-IPN) CDMX Mexico with a scholarship from the GeneralDirectorate of International Relations-Secretary of Public Education Mexico (SEP-Mexico). During the academic period he received the Best Student CompetitionAward at Battelles Second International Symposium on Bioremediation and Sustain-able Environmental Technologies (2013) in Jacksonville Florida USA. His thesiswon the Best Ph.D. Thesis Award from the Mexican Hydrogen Society. His passionfor sustainable natural systems triggers him to integrate his knowledge of the variouselds to address the problems in the area of energy environment and health. Heregistered various patents in the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI)and technology transfer to the industries. He also has relationships with govern-ment agencies and the private sector for circumstantial decision-making. He servedas a guest editor and a reviewer in international journals. Extended his gratitudeto Mrs Kamaraj Mounika and Bbg Aarudhraa for their family support.
