Additive Manufacturing of Polymer Composites

Dr. Yasir Beeran Pottathara received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Physics from the University of Calicut (India). He received an M.Phil. in Nanoscience & Nanotechnology (Physics) from the University of Kerala (India). In 2017, he earned his Ph.D. in Engineering Science from the laboratory of IRDL-UMR, CNRS 6027, University of South Brittany, Lorient, France, under the supervision of Prof. Yves Grohens with a project on the Energy Storage performance of Cellulose-graphene composites. During his Ph.D., he was awarded the Erasmus Mundus Fellowship in the 2013-2540/001-001-EMA2. Dr. Yasir did his postdoctoral research at the International and Inter-University Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, India, and served as a Visiting Scientist at the Institute for Infrastructure Engineering and Sustainable Management, Universiti Teknologi Mara, Shah Alam, Malaysia (2018-2019). From 2019 to 2022, Dr. Yasir worked on an independent research project funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Ministry of Education, Science and Sport, Republic of Slovenia, through Early Research Careers 2.1 (contract No. C3330-19-952036-2019-2022) with a total funding of 171.684,00 euros for the development of a module for 3D printing of bio-based complex structures. He has published over 30 publications, including original research articles, reviews, and book chapters. Dr. Yasir is a Scientific Associate at the University of Maribor and Rudolfovo-Science and Technology Center Novomesto in Slovenia Dr. Hanuma Reddy Tiyyagura is currently working as a scientific associate at the public research institute Rudolfovo Novo Mesto in Slovenia. He is also a Fulbright Fellow at The University of Alabama, in the United States. He received his PhD in Materials Engineering from the National Institute of Technology in Warangal, India in 2017. He has more than six years of research experience in both academic and industrial settings. His main areas of expertise include conducting cutting-edge research on the development and characterization of novel coatings and treatments for various applications, such as corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and biocompatibility. He has published more than 31 articles in prestigious journals and conference proceedings and has received several awards and honors for his research excellence and innovation. Dr. Kalim Deshmukh is a senior researcher at the New Technologies Research Centre, University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, Czech Republic. He has over 20 years of research experience in nanomaterials and polymeric materials, with particular expertise in polymer blends, nanocomposites, and nanohybrids. His work emphasizes nanoscale dispersion, interfacial chemistry, and structure–property relationships that influence material performance in applications such as energy storage, gas sensing, biosensing, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, and high-k dielectrics. He has authored more than 200 publications, including original research articles and review papers, in leading international journals and with major publishers, such as the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), American Chemical Society (ACS), Elsevier, Wiley-VCH, Springer, and Taylor & Francis. In addition to his research contributions, he has edited or co-edited several books published by ACS, RSC, Elsevier, Springer, Wiley-VCH, and Wiley Scrivener.
