Dr. Hanuma Reddy Tiyyagura is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Optoelectronics, Military University of Technology (WAT), Warsaw, Poland. He is a materialsengineer and corrosion scientist with extensive international research experience inbiodegradable metallic biomaterials, advanced surface engineering, and biomedical materials. His research mainly focuses on additive manufacturing of biodegradable magnesium- and zinc-based materials, corrosion and degradation behavior in physiological environments, and functional surface modifications for temporary implant andorthopedic applications. He has also worked on polymer-based materials, nanoengineered coatings, and biomaterials–biology interactions to enhance the performance of next-generation biomedical systems. His academic achievements have been recognized through prestigious international fellowships, including the Fulbright Postdoctoral Award and the Erasmus Mundus Fellowship.

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.
