Editor-in-Chief; Asian/Oceanian Chairman
Osaka Univ., Japan

Dr. Makio Naito received Ph.D. degrees in chemical engineering from Nagoya University, Japan in 1987. He joined Japan Fine Ceramics Center, Nagoya, Japan in 1993, and was the Vice Director from 2000 to 2002. Then, he became a professor at the Joining and Welding Research Institute (JWRI), Osaka University, Japan in 2002. He focused on the studies on innovative powder and nanoparticle processing to develop advanced materials. He served the Director of Smart Processing Research Center, JWRI from 2007 to 2010, and also served the Vice Director of JWRI from 2009 to 2010. He was the President of The Society of Powder Technology, Japan from 2015 to 2019. He has also served a director of Hosokawa Micron Corp. from 2005 to 2014. He has authored or coauthored more than 300 refereed journal papers and more than 120 review articles. He has contributed to 81 books, edited 28 books and holds more than 80 patents. He has received several prestigious awards including Richard M. Fulrath Award (2002) and Samuel Geijsbeek PACRIM International Award (2021) from The American Ceramic Society (ACerS). He is a Fellow of the ACerS, and serves on the ACerS Board of Directors from 2020. He is a Professional Academy Member of the World Academy of Ceramics, and has served on the Academy’s Advisory Board since 2018.

Arno KWADE

European/African Chairman
TU Braunschweig, Germany

Dr.-Ing. Arno Kwade worked 9 years as a process engineer in leading industrial positions after finishing his doctorate under supervision of Prof Joerg Schwedes in 1996. In 2005, he was appointed as Professor and Director of the Institute for Particle Technology (iPAT) at Braunschweig University of Technology. His research focus lies on developing deep knowledge, process-structure-property relationships and numerical simulations for processes in which particles are mechanically stressed and formulated, from milling and mechanochemical synthesis over mixing and powder handling and characterization to production of drug products and battery electrodes. Today he is Chairman of the interdisciplinary research centres Battery LabFactory Braunschweig (BLB) and Centre of Pharmaceutical Engineering (PVZ). He is leading the German and European (EFCE) working parties on comminution and classification, has authored or coauthored more than 400 refereed journal papers and review articles, and received awards like the Lower Saxony Science Award and Hans Rumpf medal.
