About the editors
Dr. Rama Kanta Layek has been working as Assistant Professor in biopolymers and their utilizations at the Department of Separation Science, LUT University, Finland, since January 2021. Before that, he was working at Tampere University as Academy Postdoctoral Researcher. He has completed a Ph.D. from the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (Jadavpur University), Kolkata, in 2013. He has performed his postdoctoral research at Chonbuk National University, South Korea, and worked as Guest Scientist at Leibniz Institute for Polymer Research, Dresden, Germany. He has published two chapters and more than 40research articles in internationally reputed scientific journals and presented his work in reputed scientific conferences. He is engaged in broad areas of polymer/biopolymer science and material chemistry. His main research interests are synthesis, processing and characterization of novel biopolymers and their composites, surface modification of biopolymers for biomedical applications, and surface functionalization of multifunctional fillers such as graphene, boron nitride, MXene nanosheets and lignin, nanocellulose for fabrication of high-performance polymer/biopolymers composites, the structure–property relationship of polymer/biopolymer composites, valorization of lignocellulosic biomass-derived biopolymers, antibacterial biopolymers and textiles, gas barrier property of biopolymers and their composites for packaging application, and surface coating of nano-biocomposites for demanding applications.
Dr. Debasis De is currently working as Assistant Professor in Energy Institute, Bengaluru (Center of R.G.I.P.T, Jais, Amethi), India. After his undergraduate degree in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering from Nagpur University and postgraduate degree in Nanoscience and Technology from Jadavpur University India, he earned Ph.D. degree in the area of Nanoscience and Technology from IIT Kharagpur in January 2012. Following a brief postdoctoral stint at University of Quebec at Chicoutimi, Quebec, Canada, in 2013, he served as Assistant Professor of Dr. B. C. Roy Engineering College, Durgapur, India. He was selected as one of the fourteen Indian student delegates to attend the JSPS-DST Asia Science Seminar held at Yokohama, Japan, in 2010. He has received Quebec Merit Scholarship for foreign student in 2012 from Ministère de l’Éducation, du Loisir et du Sport for a research visit at the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (UQAC) in Chicoutimi, Québec, Canada. He is Active Member of the International Solar Energy Society and The Instituteof Engineers (India). Dr. De has published more than 28 research publications in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings. He has attended and presented his research work in more than 15 international/national conferences/workshops. He has delivered invited talks in conferences/colleges. He has supervised 04 M.Tech. and 10 B.Tech. theses. Currently, 01 Ph.D. and 10 M.Tech. students are working under him. He is Editor of the preceding of Innovations in sustainable Energy and Technology, published in Springer book series-Advances in Sustainability Science and Technology. His current research interests include fabrication of dye sensitized, perovskite, and thin film solar cells, OER/ HER by electrolysis or photocatalysis, fabrication of bio-inspired surfaces, nanostructures for electronics and advanced materials, and energy materials.
