Antonio Pizzi works in LERMAB at the University of Lorraine, Epinal, France. Dr. Naved Azum is an Associate Professor at the Center of Excellence for Advanced Materials Research, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah.
He previously served as an Assistant Professor at Aligarh Muslim University before joining King Abdulaziz University in 2011. His research focuses on experimental and computational studies of drug excipient interactions, examining how physicochemical properties, degradation pathways, and external factors influence the stability and performance of pharmaceutical formulations. He has published extensively in these areas. Prof. Abdullah M. Asiri is the Head of the Chemistry Department at King Abdulaziz University since October 2009 and he is the founder and the Director of the Center of Excellence for Advanced Materials Research (CEAMR) since 2010 till date. He is the Professor of Organic Photochemistry. His research interest covers color chemistry, synthesis of novel photochromic and thermochromic systems, synthesis of novel coloring matters and dyeing of textiles, materials chemistry, nanochemistry and nanotechnology, polymers and plastics. A major achievement of Prof. Asiri is the discovery of tribochromic compounds, a class of compounds which change from slightly or colorless to deep colored when subjected to small pressure or when grind. This discovery was introduced to the scientific community as a new terminology published by IUPAC in 2000. This discovery was awarded a patent from European Patent office and from UK patent.
