About the Author

Bappa Acherjee is Associate Professor in the Department of Production and Industrial Engineering at Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, Ranchi, India. He earned his Ph.D. in Production Engineering from Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India, in 2012, specializing in laser beam welding. His research interests encompass laser material processing, welding, additive manufacturing, and the application of the finite element method in manufacturing processes. Dr. Acherjee has authored over 100 peer-reviewed publications, including journal articles, conference papers, and book chapters. He currently leads four sponsored research projects funded by the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB) and the Technology Development Programme, Department of Science & Technology, Government of India, with a cumulative grant of 56.4 million Indian Rupees. Under his mentorship, two scholars have been awarded Ph.D. degrees, and five are currently pursuing their doctoral research. Dr. Acherjee's scholarly achievements have been recognized internationally, with his name appearing on Stanford University's list of the top 2% of scientists (single year) for four consecutive years (2021–2024). Beyond his research contributions, he has delivered numerous invited talks and tutorials. He also actively supports the academic community through peer reviewing for journals and conferences, organizing workshops, and serving in editorial roles for academic publications and conferences.

Dawei Zhao is Senior Researcher at South Ural State University (SUSU). He oversees a team whose research is centred on the welding of high-strength materials, employing experimental, numerical and analytical techniques to achieve vehicle lightweighting. Dr. Zhao was awarded his PhD in Mechanical Engineering by Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST). Upon completion of his doctoral studies, Dr. Zhao assumed the role of Senior Welding Engineer at China North Industries Group Corporation, where he addressed quality control concerns related to welding. Subsequently, he assumed the role of Senior Lecturer at Linyi University in China. Dr. Zhao has published 45 papers in ISI-listed journals. He has participated in several international conferences and is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Industrial and Modern Manufacturing and Current Chinese Science. Additionally, he serves as a topic editor for several journals, including Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering (Frontiers), Applied Sciences (MDPI), Metals (MDPI) and Crystals (MDPI).
