Dr. Dinesh Amalnerkar is the Executive Director at the Centre for Materials for Electronics Technology (C-MET), an autonomous research institute of Department of Electronics and Information Technology, Ministry of Communications and Information Technology. He received Ph.D. Degree in Physical Chemistry from National Chemical Laboratory (Pune University) in 1982. He subsequently worked with Elpro International Ltd (affiliated to GE, USA) as Scientist till 1985. During1986-1987, he had taken up the Visiting Assignment at Gifu, University, Japan & returned to join the post of Pool Scientist at NCL, India. In 1991, he joined C-MET as a Scientist. In March 2009, Govt. of India has appointed him as the Executive Director of C-MET to look after its 3 centers located at Pune, Hyderabad & Thrissur. While placed at C-MET, he revisited Gifu University, Japan, during September-December 1993 & August-November 2000 as an AIEJ Researcher and worked as a Brain-Pool Visiting Scientist at Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology, Daejon, Korea during 2006-2007. He has also taken up short-term Visiting Scientist assignments at Universities and Institutes in Slovenia, Bulgaria, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland and Singapore. He has published more than 170 papers in peer-reviewed international journals, won 12 awards for oral/poster presentations in various national/international symposia. His Area of Expertise includes: nanomaterials, semiconductors, photoconductors, polymer nanocomposites etc.

Prof. Vijay Arora, a tenured professor at Wilkes University, obtained his Ph.D from the University of Colorado. He has held distinguished appointments at the University of Tokyo, National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University, University of Western Australia, and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, in addition to several short-term visiting assignments around the world. Professor Arora is an IEEE-EDS distinguished lecturer and was accorded Leading Educators of the World 2005, Leading Scientists of the World 2005, and Man of Achievement 2005 by International Biographical Centre of Cambridge, England. He is listed in a number of Who’s Who biographies. He has been invited to give keynote lectures and presentation internationally. His publications include more than 100 papers in reputed journals and many uncounted publications in conference proceedings and numerous invited/keynote lectures. Professor Arora serves on the editorial board of a number of journals. He was chair of NanoSingapore2006, NanotechMalaysia2010, and EscienceNano2012 conferences. Professor Arora sent his research-based book entitled “Nanoelectronics: Quantum Engineering of Low-Dimensional Nanoensembles,” for publication by CRC Press/Taylor and Francis Group. In this volume, he brings to undergraduate level the resurrection of modern nanoelectronics from now outdated 20th century electronics, not valid in low-dimensional nanoensemble. Undergraduates, graduates, and seasoned researchers will find it as a valuable resource in search for creativity and innovation (C&I), opening a new vista in correct interpretation of experimental results and re-assessment of existing paradigms.
