He worked for two years (2009-2011) as a non-tenure track Assistant Professor in the Department of Industrial Polymers (now Laboratoire Procedes et Ingenierie en Mecanique et Materiaux, Paris) at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Metiers in Paris. During 2011-2015, he worked in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Ecole de Technologie Superieure ETS, Montreal, Canada as a researcher for the Research Chair in Protective Materials and Equipment for Occupational Health and Safety. From 2015 to 2019, Dr. Nguyen-Tri worked as a Research Officer in the Department of Chemistry at the Universite de Montreal, Canada before accepting a professorship position at the Universite du Quebec a Trois-Rivieres. His main research interests are in nanomaterials, hybrid nanoparticles, smart coatings, polymer crystallization, polymer blends and composites. Dr. Nguyen-Tri has edited 11 books (including 8 books by Elsevier). He has served as an Editor of many special issues in the ISI indexed journals. Dr. Nguyen-Tri is an Editorial Board Member for journals including RSEM, PLoS One (PNAS) and SN Applied Science (Springer). Haobin Wu is a Professor at the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Zhejiang University, China. His research interests are metal-organic framework-related materials for sustainable energy, designed synthesis of micro-/nanostructured materials, electrochemical energy storage technologies, and electrocatalysis and electrochemical production of fuels. Simon Barnabe is a Professor, entrepreneur, field researcher, and consultant in the Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Physics, at the University of Quebec, Trois-Rivieres, Canada. His areas of research interest are applied microbiology (industrial and environmental); recovery of residues by fermentation; pretreatment of residues; community biorefinery, reactive biomass fractionation, biofuels, bio-ingredients for eco-materials, local or local co-products; microalgae production and algorinage. Pierre Benard is a Professor in the Hydrogen Research Institute, at the University of Quebec at Trois-Rivieres, Canada. His research focuses on microporous adsorbers, supercritical adsorption, mechanics of computational fluids, simulation methods in statistical physics, thermodynamic modeling, carbon nanostructures, condensed matter physics, and statistical physics of inhomogeneous fluids. Tuan Anh Nguyen is a Senior Principal Research Scientist at the Institute for Tropical Technology, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, Hanoi, Vietnam. He received a BS in physics from Hanoi University in 1992, a BS in economics from Hanoi National Economics University in 1997, and a PhD in chemistry from the Paris Diderot University, France, in 2003. He was a Visiting Scientist at Seoul National University, South Korea, in 2004, and the University of Wollongong, Australia, in 2005. He then worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate and Research Scientist at Montana State University, United States in 2006-09. In 2012 he was appointed as the Head of the Microanalysis Department at the Institute for Tropical Technology. His research areas of interest include smart sensors, smart networks, smart hospitals, smart cities, complexiverse, and digital twins. He has edited more than 74 books for Elsevier, 12 books for CRC Press, 1 book for Springer, 1 book for RSC, and 2 books for IGI Global.
