Author Biography

Katerina E. Aifantis is researcher at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, in the Laboratory of Mechanics and Materials. She obtained her PhD at 21 from the University of Groningen in 2005, making her the youngest PhD ever in the Netherlands, and was post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Applied Sciences at Harvard University. She is regular contributor to and referee for peer-reviewed scientific journals. Stephen A. Hackney is Full Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy at Michigan Technological University since 1994. He has authored more than eighty publications focused on unique experiments and results on the deformation of next generation Li-ion electrodes. He received the MTU Research Award and a Distinguished Faculty Member Award from the Michigan Association of Governing Boards. His research projects are supported by the US Department of Energy, the US National Science Foundation and the US Army. R. Vasant Kumar is Senior Lecturer at the University of Cambridge, UK. Before his appointment he was Director of the Centre for Sensors Technology in the Department of Mining and Mineral Engineering at the University of Leeds. In addition to his current position he is the Director of Environmental Monitoring and Control Ltd., a start-up company producing solid-state sensors and sensing instruments. He also serves as editor-in-chief of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining's journal Mineral Processing and Extractive Metallurgy (IMM Transactions section C).
