Author Information

Prashant N. Kumta holds the Edward R. Weidlein Endowed Chair and Distinguished Professor with Tenure at the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering and School of Dental Medicine, and is also a Professor in the Departments of BioEngineering, Chemical and Petroleum Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science, and Oral and Craniofacial Sciences. His research focuses on lithium-ion batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors, electrolysis, and metallic biomaterials. Aloysius F. Hepp is Chief Technologist at Nanotech Innovations and an independent consultant based in Cleveland, Ohio. He earned a PhD in Inorganic Photochemistry in 1983 from MIT and retired in December 2016 from the Photovoltaic & Electrochemical Systems Branch of the NASA Glenn Research Center (Cleveland). He was a visiting fellow at Harvard University from 1992–3. He was awarded the NASA Exceptional Achievement medal in 1997. He has served as an adjunct faculty member at the University of Albany and Cleveland State University. Dr. Hepp has co-authored nearly 200 publications (including six patents) focused on processing of thin film and nanomaterials for I–III–VI solar cells, Li-ion batteries, integrated power devices and flight experiments, and precursors and spray pyrolysis deposition of sulfides and carbon nanotubes. He has co-edited twelve books on advanced materials processing, energy conversion and electronics, biomimicry, and aerospace technologies. He is Editor-in-Chief Emeritus of Materials Science in Semiconductor Processing (MSSP) and is currently the chair of the International Advisory Board of MSSP, as well as serving on the Editorial Advisory Boards of Mater. Sci. and Engin. B and Heliyon. He has recently been appointed as Series Editor for the Vacuum and Thin-Film Deposition Technologies series and the Aerospace Fundamentals, Applications, and Exploration series. Moni K. Datta is an Assistant Professor at the Bioengineering Department of the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, USA. Oleg I. Velikokhatnyi is an Assistant Professor in the Bioengineering Department at the University of Pittsburgh, USA. His research includes first-principles and semi-empirical approaches applied to alternative energy sources (rechargeable Li-ion batteries, hydrogen storage materials, fuel cells, water electrolysis) and biodegradable magnesium-based alloys for orthopedic and craniofacial applications.
