He is on the editorial boards of various international journals, including the IOP journal Engineering Research Express. He received the IOPP Top Cited Paper Awards 2021 and 2022 for most cited articles from India, published across the IOP materials journal portfolio in the past three years respectively (2018 to 2020 and 2019 to 2021). He has already guided 22 Ph. D. students and undertaken 16 research projects as PI. Dr Subrat Kumar Jena currently holds the position of postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Applied Mechanics in the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, New Delhi, India. He has recently concluded an honorary postdoctoral fellowship at the Nonlinear Multifunctional Composites—Analysis and Design (NMCAD) Laboratory, Department of Aerospace Engineering, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, India. Dr Jena completed his Ph D at the Department of Mathematics, National Institute of Technology Rourkela, Odisha, India. His research expertise encompasses computational solid mechanics, multifunctional materials, applied mathematics, mathematical modelling, and uncertainty modelling. His research contributions are widely recognized; he has 32 research papers in peer-reviewed international journals, 2 international conference papers, 9 book chapters, and 3 books (one book is in press, two other books are ongoing) to his credit. Prof. Ömer Civalek has been serving as a professor at the Faculty of Engineering in the University of Akdeniz since 2004. He has received two Ph D degrees in Structural Engineering and Applied Mechanics from Dokuz Eylül University and the University of Firat, respectively. He has made substantial contributions to the field of engineering in the form of over 350 refereed journal papers, more than 50 conference papers, a few book chapters, and 70 papers published in various national journals. His research interests are primarily focused on continuum mechanics, solid mechanics, nanoscale mechanics, the vibration and buckling of plates and shells, computational mechanics, laminated structures, structural dynamics, the modeling of nanostructures, and biomechanics. Professor Civalek has been appointed as a visiting professor for a term of three years (2020–3) at the China Medical University in Taichung, Taiwan.
