Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a Special Issue in honor of Professor Manoj Gupta for his 60th birthday.

Dr Manoj Gupta received his PhD degree from the University of California, Irvine, USA, in 1992 and is currently an Associate Professor with the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the National University of Singapore. In August 2017, he was highlighted among the Top 1% Scientist of the World Position by The Universal Scientific Education and Research Network and among the top 2.5% by ResearchGate and Top 1% in the Stanford list of researchers. To his credit are (i) the disintegrated melt deposition technique and (ii) hybrid microwave sintering technique, an energy-efficient solid-state processing method to synthesize alloys/micro/nanocomposites. He has published over 600 peer-reviewed journal papers and owns two US patents. His current h‐index is 72, RG index 48, and his citation number is greater than 19,000. He has also co-authored eight books, published by John Wiley, Springer, and MRF-USA. He is Editor-in-chief/Editor of twelve international peer-reviewed journals. A multiple-award winner, he actively collaborates with researchers in/visits Japan, France, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, China, the USA, and India.

In honor and recognition of Professor Gupta’s outstanding career contributions to the field of light metals, metal matrix composites, and innovations in materials processing, we would like to invite you to submit an article for the Special Issue to be published in Technologies. Research articles or review papers relating to metal-based materials, metal matrix composites, and innovation in materials processing are welcome for publication in this Special Issue.
