He has more than 20 years of experience in teaching and research in both academia and industry. He has published more than 70 scientific papers in SCI/SCIE-grade journals^2000 citations; h-index = 23) as First and Corresponding Author and published1 book and 11 chapters (Springer and Elsevier).
Shiv Dutt Purohit is currently working as International Research Professor (Assistant Professor) at the School of Chemical Engineering, Yeungnam University, Gyeongsan, South Korea. He obtained his Ph.D. from the Department of Polymer and Process Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, in 2021. He is Materials Scientist, and his research interests lie in biomedical and related areas such as tissue engineering and wound healing. Besides, he is also intrigued to work in other areas such as food packaging materials. He has published more than 20 research articles and chapters and has more than 500 citations on his name with an h-index of 10. He is also Reputed Reviewer for several peer-reviewed international journals and working as Academic Editor for Scientifica-Hindawi. He is also involved in the editing of a few special issues in SCIE journals.
Rajendra Prasad is currently working as Assistant Professor at the School of Biochemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi, India. Prior to this position, Rajendra Prasad had postdoctoral trainings from Tufts University, Medford, Boston, MA, USA, NOVA Medical School, Faculdade de Ciências Médicas Campo Mártires da Pátria, Lisboa, Portugal and Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel, and Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, India, in the area of Cancer NanoMedicine and targetable cancer theranostics. Moreover, Rajendra Prasad had a chance to help few master students during my postdoctoral trainings, which gave me a confidence to handle scientific challenges and lead independent research projects. Rejendra Prasad has also cracked prestigious Postdoctoral Fellowships such as IPDF, PBC, and JSPS and hold my membership for Royal Society of Chemistry.
