Green Biocomposites for Biomedical Engineering

Dr Md Enamul Hoque is a Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Military Institute of Science and Technology (MIST), Dhaka, Bangladesh. Before joining MIST, he served in several leading positions in some other global universities such as Head of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at King Faisal University (KFU), Saudi Arabia; Founding Head of Bioengineering Division, University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus (UNMC) and so on. He received his PhD in 2007 from the National University of Singapore (NUS), Singapore. He also obtained his PGCHE (Post Graduate Certificate in Higher Education) from the University of Nottingham, UK in 2015. He is a Chartered Engineer (CEng) certified by the Engineering Council, UK; Fellow of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering (FIMechE), UK; Fellow of Higher Education Academy (FHEA), UK and Member, World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology. He has published more than 100 articles, more than 10 books, over 75 book chapters, and over 100 International Conference presentations/proceedings. Prof. Ahmed Sharif is a Professor in the Department of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), Bangladesh. After obtaining his PhD in 2005, he subsequently became Professor and Head of the Department in 2014. He is also a Visiting Professor at the City University of Hong Kong and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. He has published more than 50 peer-reviewed (SCI listed) papers in leading international journals on soldering and ferroelectric materials research and has been invited to numerous international conferences to present keynote lectures. Recently, he has edited a book on Harsh Environment Electronics which was published by Wiley. He has received numerous awards including the IEEE-CPMT Young Scientist Award (for his paper at the IEEE-conference in Japan) and the Outstanding Researcher Award from City University of Hong Kong. Dr. Mohammad Jawaid is a professor at Biocomposite Technology Laboratory, Institute of Tropical Forestry and Forest Products (INTROP), Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Malaysia, and also has been Visiting Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering, College of Engineering, King Saud University, Saudi Arabia, since June 2013. He has more than 16 years of experience in teaching, research, and industries. His area of research interests includes hybrid composites, lignocellulosic reinforced/filled polymer composites, advance materials: graphene/nanoclay/fire retardant, modification and treatment of lignocellulosic fibers and solid wood, biopolymers and biopolymers for packaging applications, nanocomposites and nanocellulose fibers, and polymer blends.
