Meet the editors

Dr. Maurizio Casalino earned a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University "Mediterranea" of Reggio Calabria, Italy, after obtaining a laurea (summa cum laude) in Electrical Engineering from University of Naples "Federico II." In 2010, he joined the Institute of Applied Sciences and Intelligent Systems, Naples, as a researcher. He taught Optoelectronics at the University of Calabria from 2009 to 2012, physics of the semiconductors and

devices and analog electronics from 2013 to 2021, and from 2020 to 2021, respectively, at the University of Campania "Luigi Vanvitelli". He is the author of more than ninety scientific articles focused on the development of optoelectronic and photonic devices. His research activities have been funded by CNR (National Research Council of Italy), public and external organizations, and the European Community.

Dr. J. Thirumalai received his Ph.D. from Alagappa University, Karaikudi, in 2010. He was awarded a post-doctoral fellowship from Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), Republic of Korea, in 2013. He worked as an assistant professor of Physics, B.S. Abdur Rahman University, Chennai, India, from 2011 to 2016. Currently, he is Assistant Professor of Physics, SASTRA Deemed University, Kumbakonam (T.N.), India. His

research interests focus on luminescence, self-assembled nanomaterials, thinfilm optoelectronic devices, and spintronics applications. He has published more than sixty indexed papers and ten book chapters. He has also edited six books. Dr. Thirumalai is a member of several national and international societies. His research activities are funded by the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB), India.
