Linda Makovická Osvaldová is professor at the University of Žilina, Slovakia, Faculty of Security Engineering, Department of Fire Engineering. She studied at the Faculty of Wood at the Technical University in Zvolen, the study program “Fire Protection” in the engineering study and the study program “Wood Processing Technology” in doctoral degree. She obtained a Bachelor of Law degree from the Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia. She deals with safety issues testing of materials used in technological processes, building constructions, as well as natural materials in forest fires and their impact on the safety of rescue components during firefighting. Prof. Dr. Widya Fatriasari is a research professor at the Research Center for Biomass and Bioproducts, National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), Indonesia. She has been the research group head of Polyphenol-Based Bioproduct since 2019. She has obtained a Doctor of Forest Product Technology from Bogor Agriculture Institute. More than 160 national and international publications, 27 Patents, one industrial design, and one copyright have been produced during her research career (2006 – present). She published 5 International publications in high-impact factor journals such as the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules (IF. 8.025), Industrial Crops and Products (IF.6.449), Journal of Materials Research and Technology (IF.6.267), Polymer Degradation and Stability (IF. 5.204), Polymers (IF. 4.967), and Journal of Polymers and the Environment (IF.4.705). The primary research areas are biomass conversion, bioenergy, biorefinery, lignin valorization for bioproducts, cellulose-based bioproducts, and biomass chemistry. She has been involved in various research projects, such as lignin for biosurfactants, fire retardants, seed coating, biocomposite, marine biomaterials, cosmetic from biomass, biomedical pulp, and pulp and paper.
