Ahmed A. El Gendy College of Science, University of Texas, El Paso, Texas, USA. Dr. EL-Gendy received his Ph.D. degree in physics from Heidelberg University, Germany 2011. From 2012-2017, He worked in various research positions on both levels academic and industry, as a postdoctoral researcher and senior scientist at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), Virginia (2012-2013, 2015-2017), Nanofoundary LLC., and University of Delaware (UD), Delaware (2013-2015), USA. In fall 2017, he joined department of physics at UTEP as tenure track assistant professor to establish his group in nanomagnetics and biomaterials. Dr. El-Gendy has been working in the field of magnetic nanoparticles for 16 years. His research expertise includes synthesis, characterization and applications of functionalized magnetic nanoparticles. He focuses on synthesis and optimization of soft and hard magnetic nanomaterials using chemical and physical methods to be used for various types of applications such as hyperthermia treatment for cancer, drug delivery, contrast agent for MRI, rare-earth free permanent magnets, data storage, and magneto-caloric for refrigeration technology. He has published more than 40 (11 in 2017) high impact scientific papers in peer-review journals and book chapters. He is a reviewer for numerous high ranked scientific journals. He is editing a book of magnetic nanostructured materials published by ELSEVIER in 2018-2019. He is Editor of Journal of Research in Pharmaceutics and Drug Development. He has participated in more than 20 international conferences and been invited for many talks. During 2015-2016, scientific newspapers such as phys.org, nanowerk, AAAS, science daily, Azo nano, I'Science, Space daily DOE-news,etc. highlighted his work on novel rare-earth free permanent magnet material. In addition, he holds one US-patent (US2016/0159653A1) and five US-provisional patents (US 62/546, 810), (US 62/278, 228), (US 62/278, 176), (US 62/278, 169), and (US 62/278, 164). In 2017, he has been awarded a highly competitive international young scientist award by national science foundation in China (NSFC). Based on his career achievements, his biography was approved to be listed in Marques who's who in America in 2018. Jose Manuel Barandiaran Universidad del Pais Vasco, Bilbao, Spain. Prof. José Manuel Barandiaran is an internationally recognized expert in the field of magnetism and magnetic materials. He was deeply involved in the development of the theory and experimental application of magnetoelastic effects in amorphous materials during the 80's, and has thereafter continued researching their properties and use in different kind of sensors. As head of the Group of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials, he started and led the research in Magnetism in the Universidad del País Vasco UPV/EHU. He is currently the scientific director of BCMaterials, an excellence research centre sponsored by the Basque Science Foundation and the University. He has published over 400 articles in scientific journals, receiving more than 4700 citations (h-index=34). He is author of 5 patents, and has supervised 14 PhD Thesis. He was the founder and first president of International Committee of the European Magnetic Sensors & Actuators (EMSA) Conferences, Chairman of International Committee of the Soft Magnetic Materials (SMM) Conference, and founder and first President of the Spanish Club of Magnetism. Ravi L. Hadimani Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA, USA. Ravi L. Hadimani is Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA, USA. His research specializations are non-invasive brain stimulation, biomagnetics and energy harvesting research. He developed a hybrid piezoelectric and photovoltaic energy harvester to produce electrical energy from solar, wind and rain energy, for which he was awarded the UK Energy Innovation Award in 2011.
