Dr. Anuj Kumar is an Assistant Professor at GLA University, Mathura, India. He received PhD degree in 2017 from Gurukula Kangri University, Haridwar, India. He moved to Beijing University of Chemical Technology, China for his Post Doc research. His research focus is on molecular/M-N-C electrocatalysts for O2-catalysis. He is authored and co-authored in more than 110 articles published in reputed peer-reviewed journals (like Energy and Environmental Sciences, Applied Catalysis B: Environmental, Chemical Engineering Journal, Journal of Materials Chemistry A, Coordination Chemistry Reviews, Chemistry of Materials, Applied Energy etc). He has been awarded with "Best Young Scientist Award 2021" from TAIF. "Young Researcher Award 2020/2021/2022" by InSc and by CEGR. He is serving as Section Editor, Guest editor, and editorial board member for various journals.

Dr. Ram Gupta is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at Pittsburg State University. He is the Director of Research at the National Institute for Materials Advancement (NIMA). Dr. Gupta has been recently named by Stanford University as being among the top 2% of research scientists worldwide. Before joining Pittsburg State University, he worked as an Assistant Research Professor at Missouri State University, Springfield, MO then as a Senior Research Scientist at North Carolina A&T State University, Greensboro, NC. Dr. Gupta's research spans a range of subjects critical to current and future societal needs including: semiconducting materials & devices, biopolymers, flame-retardant polymers, green energy production & storage using nanostructured materials & conducting polymers, electrocatalysts, optoelectronics & photovoltaics devices, organic-inorganic heterojunctions for sensors, nanomagnetism, biocompatible nanofibers for tissue regeneration, scaffold & antibacterial applications, and bio-degradable metallic implants. Dr. Gupta has published over 270 peer-reviewed journal articles, made over 350 national/international/regional presentations, chaired/organized many sessions at national/international meetings, wrote several book chapters (90+), worked as Editor for many books (30+) for American Chemical Society, CRC, Springer, Elsevier, etc. and received several million dollars for research and educational activities from external agencies.  He is also serving as Editor, Associate Editor, Guest editor, and editorial board member for various journals
