Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr. Vijay Kumar is working as an assistant professor in physics at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) in Srinagar (J&K). Before joining NIT Srinagar, he worked as an assistant professor in physics at Chandigarh University, Mohali. He was a postdoctoral researcher at the Phosphor Research Group, University of the Free State, South Africa. He holds a Ph.D. in physics from SLIET Longowal and an M.Sc. in physics from the National Institute of Technology Jalandhar, Punjab, India. His research experience and interests lie in the synthesis, processing, and characterization of functional materials, solid-state luminescent materials, bio-based/biodegradable polymers, and composites, drug delivery devices, wastewater treatment, polymer nanocomposites, and ion solid interaction.

 

Dr. Yogendra Kumar Mishra is a professor MSO at Mads Clausen Institute, University of Southern Denmark (SDU), Sønderborg, Denmark. Prior to joining SDU, he was leading a scientifically independent group at functional nanomaterials chair, Institute for Material Science, Kiel University, Kiel Germany. He did habilitation (Dr. Habil.) in materials science from Kiel University in 2015 and Ph.D. in physics in 2008 from Inter University Accelerator Centre/Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India. His main research focus is on ‘Smart Materials’.
