Duško Dudić  is an experimental physicist dedicated to Polymer Physics: mechanical,  (photo)electrical and thermal properties of polymers; ageing; composites. He also works independently on the instrumentation development for dielectric, thermal and optical characterization of materials. Other experiences: Research and Development of Methods for Cable and Wire Testing; Development of Software for Testing Instruments (C++ and VEE on instruments:  Agilent, Instron, Keithley, Hameg, Linkam...) and Development and production of High Voltage Detectors.

My location is Boucherville, Canada.
My area of expertise: polymer synthesis, plastic processing and application, bio-based plastic, eco-responsible plastic, composite, biocomposite and nanocomposite.

Christian Emeka Okafor received B.Eng in Mechanical/Production Engineering in 2006; an M.Eng in Industrial/Mechanical Engineering in 2010; and a PhD in Engineering Design and Manufacturing in 2014. He is a practicing mechanical engineer licensed by Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) and an active member of numerous national science and engineering organizations including, Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE), and International Association of Engineers (IAENG). Christian Okafor is currently a senior lecturer at the department of mechanical engineering, Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka Nigeria, where he has employed a wide range of teaching strategies to successfully engage diverse cohorts of undergraduate and postgraduate engineering students in both online and face-to-face classes; his approach has improved the overall student experience and led to quality learning outcomes. He is currently pioneering research on micro and macro scale design of reinforced polymer composite structures using the machine learning paradigm. Dr. Christian Okafor is recognized for his contributions to fibre reinforced composite technology which include innovative research in the design, manufacturing, and optimization. Bringing the wonders of scientific discovery into the classroom, He is a member of the team that won the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) annual oil and gas research grant competition during the 2014/2015 research cycle. He has introduced open-ended projects to material design classes that give students a real experience of scientific discovery. As a design specialist, his broad design and project management capability led to his appointment as a member of committee of building professional in the university, he has served as a deputy director university production processes, member of faculty of engineering Direct Teaching and Laboratory Cost (DTLC) committee, Secretary to Faculty of engineering Research, Innovation and Development committee, NAU and editorial secretary, Journal of Engineering and Applied Science.

Professor Cengiz Soykan was born in 1969 at Eskişehir/TURKEY. He received his Bachelor's degree in 1992 from Fırat University Faculty of Science and Letters Chemistry Department. He completed his doctoral studies in 2000 at the same university. Among his research topics; Polymer Chemistry, Functional Polymer Synthesis and Characterization, Copolymerization, Thermal Analysis Techniques, Polymer-Clay Composites, Resin Synthesis and Removal of Heavy Metal Ions from Environmental Samples are there. He still continues his academic studies at Uşak University in the Department of Materials Science and Nanotechnology Engineering. There are 82 published international articles. Presented at various national and international conferences.

Ahmed Fatimi is an Associate Professor at Sultan Moulay Slimane University (Beni-Mellal, Morocco). He obtained a Master degree in chemical engineering from Polytech’Nantes School (Nantes, France) and a Master degree in biopolymers engineering from University of Nantes (Nantes, France). He received the Ph.D. degree in biomaterials from University of Nantes in 2008. His postdoctoral research was carried out, from 2009 until 2012, at Canada research chair in biomaterials and endovascular implants (Montreal, Canada). Dr Fatimi has developed and patented a radiopaque hydrogel combining both embolizing and sclerosing properties for embolizing blood vessels, and to treat or to prevent frequent blood leakage during treatment of aneurysms. Dr. Fatimi’s research is focused on developing and formulation of biopolymer-based hydrogels for tissue engineering and biomedical use, and their physico-chemical, rheological and biological properties. Another field of Dr. Fatimi’s research concerns intellectual property and innovation related to chemistry.

He has published 24 papers in peer-reviewed international scientific journals, and 2 book chapters, as well as, around 40 conference communications. Moreover, he is an inventor of 4 patents (PCT, France, Canada, United States).
