ing was awarded in 2013 by the University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Dr. Ali Saghafinia passed a postdoctoral research fellowship at UM Power Energy Dedicated Advanced Centre, University of Malaya, in 2013–2014. He also worked at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, IUT, under the National Elite Foundation as a postdoctoral research fellow during 2016–2017. Currently, Dr. Ali Saghafinia is an assistant professor at Majlesi Branch, Islamic Azad University. His research interests include smart grids, power electronics, electric motor drives, machine design, fault detection, and industrial engineering. He has 20 years of teaching experience and has authored or coauthored more than 50 books, book chapters, and papers in international journals and conferences.

Dr. Xian Du is an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering and the Institute for Applied Life Sciences at UMass Amherst. His research areas include high-resolution, large-area and fast-speed sensing, machine vision, and pattern recognition technologies for the roll-to-roll flexible electronics printing process and personalized health monitoring devices. Dr. Xian Du earned his doctoral degree in

the Programming of Innovation of Manufacturing Systems and Technology from Singapore-MIT Alliance. Before joining UMass, Dr. Xian Du was a research scientist at MIT. He invented concentric circular trajectory scanning and image-matching methods for roll-to-roll manufacturing and human health monitoring. Dr. Xian Du is a recipient of the 2020 NSF Career award.
