International Conference on Advanced Material and Technology (ICAMT) 2021

Prof. Hiroshi Amano is a Japanese physicist, engineer and inventor specializing in the field of semiconductor technology. For his work he was awarded the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics together with Isamu Akasaki and Shuji Nakamura for "the invention of efficient blue light-emitting diodes which has enabled bright and energy-saving white light sources". Professor Amano was elected as a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2016 for the development of p-type gallium nitride (GaN) doping, enabling blue semiconductor LEDs. From 1988 to 1992, he was a research associate at Nagoya University. In 1992, he moved to Meijo University, where he was an assistant professor. From 1998 to 2002, He was an associate professor. In 2002, he became a professor. In 2010, he moved to the Graduate School of Engineering, Nagoya University, where he is currently a professor. He joined Professor Isamu Akasaki's group in 1982 as an undergraduate student. Since then, he has been doing research on the growth, characterization and device applications of group III nitride semiconductors, which are well known as materials used in blue light-emitting diodes today. In 1985, he developed low-temperature deposited buffer layers for the growth of group III nitride semiconductor films on a sapphire substrate, which led to the realization of group-III-nitride semiconductor-based light-emitting diodes and laser diodes. In 1989, he succeeded in growing p-type GaN and fabricating a p-n-junction-type GaN-based UV/blue light-emitting diode for the first time in the world.

Prof. DongFeng Chen is the President of Asia-Oceania Neutron Scattering (AONSA). He is also a senior researcher at China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) and Chinese Neutron Scattering Society (CNSS). Professor Chen has a broad experience in the field of neutron scattering topics. He also published many papers related to the neutron research topic

Prof. Rodrigo Martins is full professor in the Materials Science Department of the Faculty of Science and Technology of New University of Lisbon, a fellow of the Portuguese Engineering Academy since 2009 and a member of the European Academy of Science since 2016. He was decorated with the gold medal of merit and distinction by the Almada Municipality for his R&D achievements. Prof. Rodrigo has been involved in the pioneer European research on Amorphous silicon semiconductors and pioneer with is group worldwide activity related to passive and active oxides, the so called transparent electronics and it is one of the inventors of the so-called paper electronics, where paper is exploit not only as a substrate but also as a functional component in active devices. He published over 700 papers and during the last 10 years got more than 14 international and national prizes and distinctions for his work (e.g. Lisbon Energy Live Expo, Innovation Prize, 2012 Solar Tiles, European Patent Office Innovation nomination 2016, etc.

Prof. Satish Patil is a Professor of Solid State and Structural Chemistry Unit Indian Institute of Science, India. He obtained his Ph.D of polymer chemistry from Bergische University of Wuppertal, Germany. Professor Patil has a research interest in synthesis of organic semiconductors for singlet fission, thermally allowed delayed emission, organic solar cell, and organic electrochemical transistors. He already published more than 100 papers in peer reviewed journals.

Dr. Xu received his PhD training from Lanzhou University, Institute of Physics, CAS, and Brown University (2002-2008). His PhD study focused on nanomaterials synthesis and characterizations. He worked in State University of New York at Binghamton as a Research Associate (2007-2009) and then he worked in Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a Postdoctoral Researcher (2009-2012). Dr. Xu's research interests include electrochemistry, catalysis, solar fuels, energy storage, magnetic nanomaterials, and sensors. His current research interests are electrocatalysis, electrochemical energy storage, electrochemical sensors, In-situ characterization techniques for electrochemical materials, Magnetic nanomaterials, and Green chemistry for materials processing.

Prof. Kostya Trachenko is a Deputy head of CCMP (Computational Condensed Matter Physics), Professor of Physics, and Director of Graduate Studies at School of Physical and Chemical Sciences, Queen Mary University of London, United Kingdom. He was awarded top 10 Physics World Breakthroughs in 2020 and EPSRC-CCP Prize for outstanding contributions to theory and modelling of condensed matter phases. Professor Trachenko did his PhD at Cambridge University and subsequently held a Research Fellowship in Darwin College, Cambridge, and an EPSRC Advanced Research Fellowship. He also received the Golden Corduroy Jacket award for best teaching.
