In 1986–1988, he conducted post-doctoral research with Prof. Y-W Mai on fracture and toughening micromechanics of epoxy systems at Sydney University. He was awarded a Visiting Professorship by the Japanese Ministry of Education to work with Prof. Niihara at Osaka University in 1995/1996. He is a fellow of the Australian Ceramic Society and serves on the editorial board of several journals. He is also the recipient of the prestigious 1996 Joint Australian Ceramic Society/Ceramic Society of Japan Ceramic Award for excellence in ceramics research. Prof. Low has authored /edited more than 12 books and is the author of over 250 archival research papers. His h-index is 45 with more than 6250 citations. His research interests include polymer and geopolymer composites, nanotechnology, tougheningand failure micromechanics. He is the current WA Branch President and Federal Councillor of the Australian Ceramic Society.   Dr. Hasan Assaedi is working as an assistant professor in the Department of Physics at Umm Al-Qura University. He gained a bachelor's degree in Physics from King Abdulaziz University in 2002. He received his M.Sc. in Theoretical Physics from the University of Adelaide, Australia, in 2012, and then he obtained his Ph.D. in Physics from Curtin University, Perth in Western Australia, in 2017. His research focuses on developing sustainable and environmentally friendly materials such as geopolymers reinforced with ductile fibres, and he has also done research in developing optical properties of semiconductors. He has 32 peer-reviewed publications including one chapter in a book. His h-index is 8 with 484 citations according to Google Search.   Dr. Thamer Alomayri gained his Ph.D.degree in Materials Science from the Department of Imaging and Applied Physics at Curtin University, Australia, in 2015.
