Dr. Bibhu Prasad Swain is currently an associate professor in the Department of Physics, National Institute of Technology Manipur, Langol, Imphal. He obtained his B.Sc. Physics (Hons.) from Utkal University, Bhubaneswar, and M.Sc. (Physics), M.Tech. (Materials Science), and Ph.D. from the National Institute of Technology Rourkela, Barkatullah University, and Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, respectively. His primary areas of research interests include high bandgap semiconductors thin films for device applications, biocompatibility coating for artificial heart valve coating and stent applications, silicon and carbon-based alloys of nanostructured materials, and titanium nitride-based mechanical challenging coating applications. He has published more than 150 papers in international journals/conferences. Dr. Swain received the Japan Society of Promotion of the Science (JSPS) Fellow at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, the National Research Foundation Fellowship at the University of Cape Town, and the Brain Korea 21 Fellowship at Seoul National University.
