About the editors
Dr Roy Johnson is currently Scientist G and Associate Director of International Advanced Research Centre (ARCI), Department of Science & Technology, Government of India Hyderabad. Dr Johnson was awarded the PhD degree in chemistry from Nagpur University for the research carried out at National Environmental Engineering Research Institute, Nagpur. He joined ARCI, in 1994 and worked in various capacities and led several research projects in the area of advanced ceramics, transparent ceramics, cellular ceramics, chemical vapour deposition and Isostatic shaping. In addition to the basic research, he was successful in realising various technologies leading to commercialization of products in the strategic and civilian sectors for potential applications. Ceramic honeycomb based energy efficient heaters and antimine boots, which are developed for the first of its of kind and infrared transparent windows and domes are some of the successful technology development programmes led by him. Several focused R&D initiatives conceptualised by him over a period of last few years have resulted in the establishment of unique facilities and a team of scientists with leading expertise in ceramic processing and shaping in the country. Currently, in the capacity of Associate Director, ARCI, he provides leadership to three major centres of excellence namely ceramic processing, non-oxide ceramics and sol-gel based nano-composite coatings. He has 83 research publications in International Journals and 11 Indian patents to his credit and co-authored one book and two book chapters. He is a recognised research supervisor and guided 4 students for their PhD degree. He is a frequent reviewer for several International Journals. He is a Fellow of Indian Institute of Ceramics and Institution of Chemists and also a member of several Indian and International professional bodies. He was the theme leader for advanced ceramics during Indo-German Frontiers of Engineering Symposium 2014. He is also the recipient of many awards including MRSI Medal 2012 (Materials Research Society), ARCI Technology award 2012 and Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviyaji award (Indian Ceramic Society- 2011).
