Professor Rajan Jose is the supervisor of the Nanostructured Renewable Energy Materials Laboratory at the University Malaysia Pahang (UMP). He received his doctoral research from the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Trivandrum, India, for his research on nanostructured perovskite ceramics for microwave and superconducting electronics. Before joining UMP, he worked as scientist at the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (India), AIST (Japan), Toyota Technological Institute (Japan), and the National University of Singapore (Singapore). He has contributed to the science and engineering of diverse range of materials including metals and alloys, luminescent quantum dots for biological and energy applications, glass and glass ceramics for quantum electronics, and electrochemical materials for energy conversion and storage. He has published over 200 journal articles with over 9500 citation and an h-index of 51. He holds 25 patents nationally and internationally. His current research interests include nanostructured materials and renewable energy devices; most of his research is on the structure-property relationship in materials for a desired device functionality. Dr. Luruthudass Annaniah is the Director of Product Development at OSRAM Opto Semiconductors in Malaysia. He majored in Mechanical and Material Engineering at the National University of Malaysia. He started his career as a Product Development engineer with Siemens Opto Semiconductor. He then moved on to work as Engineering Manager for Deutsche Technoplast GmbH, after which he joined OSRAM Opto Semiconductors as Product Development Manager. He received his PhD from the Department of Applied Physics, University Sains Malaysia, and his MBA from the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. Dr. Annaniah has developed many Opto Semiconductor products during his work at Siemens and OSRAM Opto Semiconductors, such as high brightness LED for automotive headlamps, LEDs for dashboard light and signals, IR pulse laser fors car autocruise control, bio-sensor for smart phone and smart watches, LED backlighting for TV and computers. He has contributed to several research publications and sealed many patents. Dr. Mohamed Salleh Mohamed Saheed is working in the technology development and innovation department at Infineon Technologies Malaysia. He received his doctorate degree from the Department of Fundamental and Applied Sciences, Technical University PETRONAS, Malaysia, after majoring in Mechatronics Engineering from the Technical University Malaysia. His research focusses on understanding the varying nanostructures of electron transporting materials in high-efficiency solar cells, on novel graphene structures and their use in semiconductor devices. Prior to his PhD studies, he worked as process development engineer at OSRAM Semiconductor, where he explored the LED packaging technologies.
