Dr. Sc. Ivan A. Parinov received his M.Sc. in Mechanics from Rostov State University, Mechanics and Mathematics Department in 1978 (Rostov-on-Don, Russia), his Ph.D. in Physics and Mathematics from Rostov State University in 1990 and his Dr. Sc. in Techniques from South-Russian State Technical University in 2008. He is a corresponding member of the Russian Engineering Academy (2014) and since 1978 is working in the I. I. Vorovich Mathematics, Mechanics and Computer Sciences Institute of the Southern Federal University (former Rostov State University) where he is currently Chief Research Fellow. From 1993 to 2019, he headed the Research Grants and Programs from the Soros Foundation, Collaboration for Basic Science and Education (COBASE, USA), Russian Foundation for Basic Research (14 grants), Russian Ministry for Science and Education (9 grants and scientific proposals). He has published over 350 scientific-technical publications, among them there are 30 monographs (in particular, 9 books published with Springer and 15 books with Nova Science Publishers). He currently holds 14 Russian and Soviet patents. His scientific achievements have been recognized with over 30 gold medals and special awards from European and Asian exhibitions. Since 1994 Parinov has been a reviewer for the Zentralblatt für Mathematik (Germany) and Mathematical Reviews (USA) (over 450 reviews). He has held positions as INTAS expert (2004), FP-7 expert (2010), ERA.NET RUS expert (2011, 2015), expert for the Russian Academy of Science (since 2016), the Russian Foundation for Basic Research expert (since 2017), the Russian Science Foundation expert (since 2019) and Russian Federal expert in the area of science and technology (2012-2021). He is the winner of a competition of the Russian Department of Education and Science (2014-2016 and 2017-2019) for "Organization of Fulfillment of the Scientific Researches". I. A. Parinov is active member of the New York Academy of Sciences (1994), and member of the American Mathematical Society (since 1996), the European Mathematical Society (from 1998) and The Indian Structural Integrity Society (since 2016). He holds the honorary title "Honorary Member of All-Russian Society of Inventors and Rationalizers" (2008). His research interests include R&D of novel materials and composites (in particular, high-temperature superconductors and ferro-piezoelectrics), fracture mechanics and strength physics, acoustic emission, optics, mathematical modeling, different applications of advanced materials and composites. Dr. Shun-Hsyung Chang received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from National Sun Yat-Sen University, Taiwan in 1990. Afterward, he served as an Associate Professor and has been a Full Professor since 1997 in the Department of Electrical Engineering at National Taiwan Ocean University, Keelung, Taiwan, where he was also Chairman from 1998 to 2003. He had served as the Vice President of National Kaohsiung Marine University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan, from 2003 to 2006, and is currently a professor in the Department of Microelectronic Engineering at the National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology (former National Kaohsiung Marine University). He was head of 3 grants in 2010-2017 within joint programs of the Ministry of Science and Technology of Taiwan and the Russian Foundation for Basic Research. He has published over 250 scientific-technical publications, among which are 12 monographs. In 1984, he was granted The Creative Youth prize by the Ministry of Education. He received the Long-Term Paper Award, organized by Acer Incorporated, in 1994, 1996 and 1998. He and his graduate students won the Third Prize of Graduate Team in TI-Taiwan 1994 DSP Design Championship. He also obtained the Distinguished Award in the contest of Special Topic of Communication System in graduate division held by the Ministry of Education in 2000. He contributes greatly to editorship. He was the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of
