Raj Kumar Arya is currently serving as an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Dr. B R Ambedkar National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar, Punjab, India. Prior to this role, he held positions at Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology, Patiala, Punjab, India; Jaypee University of Engineering & Technology, Guna, India; and BITS-Pilani, Goa Campus, India. His educational background includes a Ph.D. from IIT Bombay, India, M. Tech. from IIT Delhi, India, and B. Tech. from HBTI Kanpur, India. With over 14 years of research and teaching experience, he specializes in diffusion and drying of thin film polymeric coatings, process engineering, and process modeling & simulation. Notably, he has published ~70 journal papers, secured 2 international patents, presented 22 conference papers, contributed to 29 books chapters, authored 5 books, edited 3 books, and organized the International Chemical Engineering Conference (ICHEEC 2021). Dr. George D. Verros graduated in 1989 from the Chemical Engineering Department at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH), following a family tradition in Chemistry and Engineering. He earned his 1995 Doctorate in polymer reaction engineering from the same department, receiving fellowships and working on research programs sponsored by EXXON and Novo Nordisk S.A. His focus includes polymer science, particularly polymer reaction engineering, membrane and coating formation, and applying non-equilibrium thermodynamics. With around forty publications in journals like Polymer and J. Membrane Sci., and over sixty in conference proceedings, he is an active member of scientific organizations and serves on the Editorial Board of Crystals (MDPI). Since 1999, he has been actively involved in environmental applications for the Greek Government, overseeing projects in water purification, sewage plants, landfills, recycling, air pollution monitoring, and thermal waste treatment. He is also a Fellow in the Department of Chemistry at Aristotle University, Greece. Prof. (Dr.) J. Paulo Davim is a Full Professor at the University of Aveiro, Portugal, with over 35 years of experience in Mechanical, Materials, and Industrial Engineering. He holds multiple distinguished academic titles, including a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and a DSc from London Metropolitan University. He has published over 300 books and 600 articles, with more than 36,500 citations. He is ranked among the world's top 2% scientists by Stanford University and holds leadership positions in numerous international journals, conferences, and research projects.
