Concurrently she is also contributing to academia being an Associate Professor of Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR) and has been nominated as Board of Studies member of R. V. College of Engineering (RVCE) by Karnataka government.   Prof. Vinod K. Tewary is a theoretical physicist at the Applied Chemicals and Materials Division of the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) in Colorado, USA. He received his PhD in Solid State Physics from Delhi University. Since then, he has worked as a research associate in the Atomic Energy Research Establishment, in Harwell, UK; a professor of Physics and Dean of Research at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, India; and an adjunct professor at Ohio State University, Columbus. His areas of research interest include multiscale modeling of nanostructures, modeling of mechanical properties of semiconductors and solid-state devices, crystal defects and photons in nanostructures, with special focus on lattice, continuum, and multiscale Green’s functions. He is a recipient of several awards for his contributions to the field, including the Distinguished Fellow and Lifetime achievement Awards, and the Eric Reissner Medal by ICCES (International Conference on Computational Engineering and Sciences) in 2017, 2013, and 2004, respectively. He received a Bronze Medal from the US government (Department of Commerce) for scientific research and technical leadership in 1996, the Multicultural award by Boulder (Colorado State) in 1994, and the Pride of India Award for Excellence in Sciences in 1992. He was elected a Fellow of the Institute of Physics, UK, in 1974 (re-elected in June 2024). Dr. Tewary has 3 books (including 2 edited books on nanomaterials) and over 130 research publications to his name, which include research papers, review articles, and book chapters.   Dr. Krushna Kanth Varikuntla is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Wireless Innovations, Queen’s University Belfast, UK. His research specializes in Frequency Selective Surfaces (FSS) for 5G/6G communication, strategic applications, and plasma-based high-power EMI protection. Previously, he was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Toledo, USA (2022–2023).
