Bamboo Fiber-reinforced Composites

Dr. Md Zillur Rahman is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology, Dhaka, Bangladesh. He received his Ph.D. and M.Eng. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Auckland, New Zealand, and his B.Sc. (Eng.) from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology. His research focuses on fiber-reinforced composites, nanocomposites, hybrid and bio-composites, bio-inspired materials, computational simulation, and processing–structure–property relationships in advanced composite materials, with particular emphasis on sustainable natural fiber and polymer composite systems. Dr. Rahman has authored more than 160 scholarly publications, including peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters, and is actively involved in editing scientific books with leading international publishers, including Elsevier, Springer, and ACS. He was included in the 2025 Stanford–Elsevier Top 2% Scientists list.

Dr. Srikanta Moharana is presently working as an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry, School of Applied Sciences, Centurion University of Technology and Management, Odisha, India. He obtained his Ph.D. and M.Phil. degrees in Chemistry from the School of Chemistry, Sambalpur University, India. He received his M.Sc. degree in Chemistry from the National Institute of Technology, Rourkela. He has published more than 77 research papers in international peer-reviewed journals and over 85 book chapters in renowned international publications such as RSC, Elsevier, Wiley, Springer, and Taylor & Francis. Besides, he has edited 15 books under the banner of Elsevier, Springer Nature, RSC, and Taylor & Francis publications. Under his guidance, two PhD students have successfully received their Ph.D. degrees. Moreover, he has actively participated in and presented his research work at several international conferences and has been a Reviewer for reputed international journals.
