Biography

Katsuya Inoue is currently a Distinguished Professor in Hiroshima University Graduate School of Science where he studies the properties of molecules that are both chiral and magnetic. Inoue downplays the special nature of the work that happens in his laboratory, introducing the space by saying, This is a normal organic chemistry lab. While a Master degree student at the University of Tokyo, he studied molecular magnets, which are usually made using organic, or non-metal, materials. Certain organic materials can also have the special property of being chiral, meaning the molecule can come in mirror image versions, like human hands: identical, but non-superimposable. In the late 1980s, no researchers had combined the fields of organic chiral molecules with organic magnetic molecules.

Biography

Dr. Mehran Khan is a postdoctoral researcher at the University College Dublin, Ireland. His research focuses on development of low carbon 3D printed concretes. He has served as an Associate Editor, Academic Editor, Editorial board member, Special issues Guest Editor, and Topical Advisory Panel Member for various academic journals and international conferences. He has authored more than 50 publications and his publications have received over 2,300 citations, resulting in an h-index of 32 and an i10-index of 36. Researchers are exploring ways to use 3D printing to create concrete structures that have a lower carbon footprint. This involves developing new concrete mixtures that use less cement, which is a major contributor to carbon emissions, and also incorporating recycled materials into the mix. By using 3D printing technology, it is possible to create complex shapes and designs that would be difficult to achieve with traditional construction methods. This research has the potential to make concrete construction more sustainable and reduce the environmental impact of the construction industry.
