About the editors
Dr. Roy Johnson is currently Scientist “G” and Associate Director of International Advanced Research Centre for Powder Metallurgy and New Materials (ARCI), Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, Hyderabad. Dr. Johnson was awarded the Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from Nagpur University for the research carried out at National Environmental Engineering Research Institute, Nagpur. He joined ARCI in 1994 and worked in various capacities and led several research projects in the area of advanced ceramics, transparent ceramics, cellular ceramics, chemical vapor deposition, and isostatic shaping. In addition to the basic research, he was successful in realizing various technologies leading to commercialization of products in the strategic and civilian sectors for potential applications. Ceramic honeycomb–based energy efficient heaters and anti-mine boots, which are the first of its kind, and infrared transparent windows and domes are some of the successful technology development programs led by him. Several focused R&D initiatives conceptualized by him in the past few years have resulted in the establishment of unique facilities and a team of scientists with leading expertise in ceramic processing and shaping in the country. Currently, in the capacity of Associate Director, ARCI, he provides leadership to three major centers of excellence, namely, ceramic processing, non-oxide ceramics, and sol-gel based nano-composite coatings.
Dr. Johnson has 100 research publications in reputed journals, 11 Indian patents to his credit, and co-authored one book and two book chapters. He is a recognized research supervisor and guided 6 students for their PhD degree. Dr. Johnson is a frequent reviewer for several international journals. He is a Fellow of Indian Institute of Ceramics and Institution of Chemists and also a member of several Indian and international professional bodies. Dr. Johnson was the theme leader for advanced ceramics session during Indo-German Frontiers of Engineering Symposium 2014. He is also the recipient of many awards including MRSI Medal 2012 (Materials Research Society), ARCI Technology award 2012, and Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviyaji award (Indian Ceramic Society – 2011).
