Amit Bandyopadhyay is Herman and Brita Lindholm Endowed Chair Professor in the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at Washington State University (WSU). He received his BS degree in metallurgical engineering from Jadavpur University (Kolkata, India) in 1989, MS degree in metallurgy from the Indian Institute of Science (Bangalore) in 1992, and Ph.D degree in materials science and engineering from the University of Texas at Arlington (USA) in 1995. In 1995, he joined the Center for Ceramic Research at Rutgers University for his postdoctoral training. In 1997, he joined WSU as an assistant professor, and was promoted to an associate level in 2001 and to the full professor level in 2006. His research expertise is focused on additive manufacturing of hard materials toward structural and biomedical applications. He has published more than 250 technical articles. He holds 11 US patents, has edited eight books, and has supervised more than 35 graduate students for their degrees in physics, mechanical engineering, and materials science and engineering. Among others, Professor Bandyopadhyay received the CAREER award from the US National Science Foundation and the Young Investigator Program award from the US Office of Naval Research. Professor Bandyopadhyay is a fellow of the US National Academy of Inventors, the American Ceramic Society, the American Society for Materials, the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He has been working in the areas of additive manufacturing of advanced materials since 1995.

Susmita Bose is Herman and Brita Lindholm Endowed Chair Professor in the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering (MME) at Washington State University (WSU). She received her BS degree from Kalyani University (India) in 1990, MS from the Indian Institute of Technology―Kanpur in 1992, and Ph.D from Rutgers University (New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA) in 1998. In 1998, she joined the MME at WSU as a research assistant scientist in materials science and engineering, and since then she has been working with rapid prototyping/3D printing of bone tissue engineering scaffolds with controlled chemistry, especially with calcium phosphates, surface modification of metallic implants, and drug delivery. In 2001, she started as an assistant professor in the MME, and was promoted to associate professor in 2006 and to full professor in 2010. Her awards include the prestigious Presidential Early Career Award for Scientist and Engineers (the highest honor given to a young scientist by the US President at the White House) from the US National Science Foundation, the 2009 Schwartzwalder-Professional Achievement in Ceramic Engineering award, and the 2014 Richard M. Fulrath award from the American Ceramic Society. Dr. Bose was named as a "Kavli fellow" by the US National Academy of the Sciences. She has supervised more than 30 graduate students in materials science and engineering, mechanical engineering, chemistry, and bioengineering. Dr. Bose has published more than 220 technical papers, has edited six books, and holds three US patents. She is a fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering and the American Ceramic Society. Her group research on 3D printed bone tissue engineering scaffolds with controlled chemistry has been featured by the AP, BBC, NPR, CBS News, MSNBC, ABC News, and many other TV and radio stations, magazines, and news sites all over the world.
