Prof. Dr. Sanjay Yadav obtained his master’s degree in science (M.Sc.) in 1985 and his Ph.D. degree in Physics in 1990. Presently, he is Vice President of the Metrology Society of India. He was the Former Chief Scientist and Head of the Physico Mechanical Metrology Division of NPL. In addition, he was also holding the post of Professor at the Faculty of Physical Sciences, Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR), HRDG, Ghaziabad, teaching ’Advanced Measurement Techniques & Metrology’ courses, taking practical classes and supervising graduate, master, and Ph.D. students since 2011. He is the Editor-in-Chief of MAPAN: The Journal of Metrology Society of India. He has more than 350 research publications to his credit, published in national and international journals of repute and conferences, besides contributing to several books as Editor and Author, published by Springer and MSI, as well as drafting several project, scientific, and technical reports, documents, and policy papers.
Prof. Hidayat Zainuddin received his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia in 2003. He then obtained his Master of Science degree in Electrical Power Engineering with Business from the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, in 2005. He received his Ph.D. degree from The University of Southampton in 2013. He has received almost RM 500,000 in research grants as Principal Investigator and almost RM 1.5 million as Co-researcher. Most of his research is mainly geared toward the sustainability of electrical power systems, which are associated with green technology, condition monitoring, and failure analysis for high-voltage transformers. These include investigating the surface discharge behavior of pressboard impregnated in mineral and ester oils and the performance of a mineral-ester oil mixture for transformer applications and the design and development of an optical fiber sensor for online monitoring of transformer oil for a smart grid application.
