Advances in Photonic Crystals and Devices

Narendra Kumar was born in 1976 in Pitro, a village located in Bhojpur district of Bihar, India. He received B.Sc. (Hons.) and M.Sc. degrees in Physics from Banaras Hindu University in 1996 and 1998, respectively. Prior to graduation, he completed his schooling from PTPS (Patratu) High School and St. Columba’s College, Hazaribag, Jharkhand. He obtained a doctorate in Applied Physics from IIT-BHU in 2002. During his doctoral research, he worked on the propagation characteristics of some optical waveguides with new smart structures as well as one-dimensional photonic crystals. Dr. Kumar is an Assistant Professor (in senior grade) in the Department of Physics, School of Sciences, Mody University of Science and Technology, Lakshmangarh, Sikar, Rajasthan, India. He has over 16 years of experience in academics and research. His research interests include Optoelectronics and Photonics. He has published more than 24 research papers in the peer-reviewed international journals and presented papers in several national and international conferences. He has also co-authored 4 book chapters in the books published from globally recognized publishers. Some of his works have been extensively cited by many leading researchers in the field. His three books have been published by major abroad publishers including Nova Science Publishers, Inc. (USA). He is a member of Board of Studies at Mody University and has designed several curricula in Physics for UG and PG levels. He has supervised five master-degree dissertations and co-supervised four doctoral theses. He has also served as Head, Department of Science, during 2013–2015 and thereafter as Coordinator, Department of Physics, for 3 years at Mody University. Dr. Kumar is in the editorial board of the International Journal of Electromagnetics and Applications (SAP), USA, and associated with some international journals as an invited reviewer in his area of expertise. He is a Life Fellow of Optical Society of India and the Indian Science Congress Association. Bhuvneshwer Suthar was born in 1983 in Bikaner, India. He received a B.Sc. degree in 2002 from MDS University, Ajmer, India and an M.Sc. degree in Physics in 2004 from the University of Bikaner, and a PhD degree in Photonics in 2011 from MGS University, Bikaner (formerly the University of Bikaner). He received the Junior Research Fellowship of CSIR, New Delhi, India during 2006–2008 and the Senior Research Fellowship of CSIR, New Delhi, India during 2008–2011. He has worked as an Assistant Professor in the College of Engineering & Technology, Bikaner during 2011–2012 and then in Govt. Engineering College, Bikaner during 2012–2018. At present, he is working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics, MLB Government College, Nokha, Bikaner, India. He has published more than 40 research papers in nationaland international-level journals and also published more than 25 papers in various international conference proceedings. He has published two authored books and one edited book on photonic crystals in Nova Science Publishers, Inc. (USA). He has been an editor of four published international conference proceedings, including AIP Conference Proceedings. His research interests include Optoelectronics, Photonics, and Nonlinear Optics. Dr. Suthar is a member of the editorial board of the two international journals and also a reviewer of various international journals. He is also a senior member of International Association of Computer Science and Information Technology (IACSIT).
