Dr. P. C. Deshmukh is Professor at the Department of Physics, and Dean, Sponsored Research and Consultancy, at the Indian Institute of Technology Tirupati. He obtained his PhD from Nagpur University, followed by post doctoral work at the University of Aarhus, the University of Notre Dame, and Georgia State University. Prior to joining IIT Tirupati, Dr. Deshmukh was professor and head at the department of physics, IIT Madras. His primary areas of interest include photoabsorption processes in free/confined atoms, molecules and ions. He is a former president of the Indian Society of Atomic and Molecular Physics (ISAMP), and is a member of several national and international scientific advisory committees. He has published several articles in international peer-reviewed journals, and has also edited a previous proceedings of ISAMP, and also of AISAMP.

Dr. E. Krishnakumar retired as Senior Professor from Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) Mumbaiin 2017 and currently  a Raja Ramanna Fellow and Emeritus Scientist at the Raman Research Institute, Bangalore. He obtained his PhD from Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad following which he worked as a scientist at the Space Applications Centre, Ahmedabad and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at Caltech, Pasadena. His research interests include electron-molecule collisions in gas and condensed phase, molecular dynamics, electron and ion momentum imaging and spectroscopy, photoionization and photodetachment. He has published more than 100 papers in international peer-reviewed journals and delivered around 50 invited talks. Dr. Krishnakumar was President of the Indian Society of Atomic and Molecular Physics (ISAMP), has been a member of several national and international advisory committees and a Fellow of Indian Academy of Sciences.
