Sensors for Marine Biosciences

Professor Dr. Shyam S. Pandey completed his PhD from, the National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi, India in 1997 in the area of synthesis, characterization and application of organic conjugated polymers. He came to Japan as a post-doctoral fellow in 1998. He worked as a Fukuoka IST-sponsored post-doctoral fellow at the Kyushu Institute of Technology from 1998-2001 in the area of photo-functional materials and devices. He was JSPS post-doctoral fellow from 2001-2003 (Soft actuators & Artificial Muscles) and Knowledge Cluster invited researcher from 2003-2007 (Protein Biochips). He received National Technology Award from the National Research Development Corporation, Government of India in 2005 for the development of Glucose Biosensors, which are currently being manufactured and marketed. He worked at Kyushu Institute of Technology as an Assistant Professor from 2009-2012 in the area of design and development of novel photofunctional materials for their application in the area of next-generation solar cells. As an Associate Professor, he started his Organic Photofunctional Materials Devices research group in the same institute in April 2012-March 2022 and worked in the area of research and development of Next Generational Cells, Organic Electronic Devices and Bio-image sensors. Currently, he is a Professor in the Green Electronics department of the Graduate School of Life Science and Systems Engineering, Kyushu Institute of Technology. He has published more than 300 papers in international refereed journals, more than 500 papers in domestic and international conferences and about 30 patents in India, Japan, Europe and the USA. His research interests deal with the Dye-Sensitized and Organic Solar Cells, Quantum Chemical Calculations, Organic Electronics & optoelectronics, Organic Conducting Polymers, Biosensors and Protein Biochips.

Rout George Kerry a research scholar at PG Department of Biotechnology, Utkal University, Vani Vihar, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. Mr. Kerry graduated from a private collage under Utkal University. For higher education he went on for perusing his master's in biotechnology at Roland Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Berhampur University. He became acquainted with the importance of nanotechnology by one of his mentors, which triggered his interest to do scientific research in depth. Thereafter, Mr. Kerry was fully engaged to explore the infinite potentials that are possible from the crossover of biotechnology and nanotechnology. Basically, he emphasizes on the formulation of nanobased therapeutics against infectious and non-infectious ailments as well as their detection, the impact of probiotics in health management, and the role of nanotechnology in health as well as for the sustainable development of agriculture. He has authored and co-authored several publications with reputable journals and publishers. As per Google scholar his total citation since 2020 is over 3400+. Presently, he is working on nano-delivery systems& portable diagnostics.
