Dr. G. P. Darshan obtained his Ph.D. degree (Physics) from Bharathiar University (Coimbatore, India) in 2019. Presently working as an assistant Professor in Department of Physics, Faculty of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, MS Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences, Bangalore, India. He has more than 10 years of teaching and 8years of research experience. He contributed immensely towards the development of eco-friendly, low cost and efficient rare earth doped phosphors which have high luminous efficiency, low power consumption, long operational lifetime, durable and eco-friendly. The chemistry of metal oxides, silicates, molybdates, tungstates and various bio-compatible polymer host matrices was altered through rare earth doping for efficient light harvesting. Many of these could be potential commercial materials for industrial WLED's applications.

Dr. S. C. Sharma is presently working as Director, National Assessment and Accreditation Council. He is an eminent Professor and Researcher in the field of Mechanical Engineering. Under his guidance 29 sponsored projects were completed and 36 students were awarded with Ph.D. degree. He has authored/co-authored with 18 books and 8 book chapters. His research focused on Basic and Engineering aspects and worked on structural and mechanical properties of aluminum, zinc, graphite, cast iron based alloys and composites, corrosion behaviour, tensile strength, fracture toughness and heat treatment. Later, his work turned towards the advanced materials and their composites to meet the Industry needs. Nanomaterials and their composites prepared by his research group find latest applications in various disciplines. He is Member, Indian Ranking Society (IRS), New Delhi, Indian National Commission for Cooperation with UNESCO (INCCU), New Delhi, Life Member, Institute for Social & Economic Change, (ISEC) Bangalore, and he was in the Search Panel to select Vice Chancellors for Central and State supported universities.
