He has contributed to several book chapters. His research interest includes luminescence property of semiconductor nanostructures, antibacterial activity of semiconductor and metallic nanoparticles / nanocomposites, magnetic property of nanostructures, and electronic structure of inorganic materials. He has supervised several theses of both doctoral and graduate students.

Uday Narayan Maiti, PhD, is currently working as an Assistant Professor in the department of Physics, IIT Guwahati, India. He received his Ph.D. degree from Department of Physics, Jadavpur University, India. Before joining IIT Guwahati (India), he has worked as a D.S.Kothari postdoctoral fellow during 2010-11 at Kalyani University (India), followed up by postdoctoral research in Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST &IBS),South Korea (2011-2014).He has been distinguished with several National and International Prizes, among those it is worth mentioning:Gold Medal from Vidyasagar University for standing first in the University in Physics for the year of 2002; Young Scientist Award 2010 by Materials Research Society of India (MRSI) and also IBS OutstandingResearcher Award by Institute of Basic Science, Republic of Korea.

Research Area & Expertise
His research experience is based on the development of graphene gel from chemically converted graphene (registered patent in 2015, US Patent App. 14/452,995), assembly and manipulation of graphene sheets for practical applications like energy storage, electron field emission, and development of inorganic nanostructures of zinc oxide. His current area of interest is based on the Graphene and graphene analogous two-dimensional materials for energy storage and conversion.He has authored and co-authored several books, book chapters, invited review articles and peer‐reviewed articles with more than 3400 citations and has earned h-index of 29 and i10-index of 45 to his credit.

Bijan K. Paul, PhD, is currently working as an Assistant Professor in Chemistry in Mahadevananda Mahavidyalaya, Barrackpore, India. He obtained his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Calcutta in 2012. He is the recipient of Sir A. P. C. Ray Young Scientist Award, 2012. His doctoral research was focused on the study of excited-state phenomena in floppy molecules. He then moved to the University of Colorado Boulder for his post-doctoral research on Adaptive Control of Singlet Fission. He then completed his second post-doctoral research from IISER Bhopal where he worked on thermodynamics and ultrafast dynamics of interaction of drug molecules with biomacromolecules.
