 Dr. Ali Zolfagharian | Deakin University, Australia

Dr. Ali Zolfagharian is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Engineering at Deakin University, Australia, where he also leads the 4D Printing and Robotic Materials Lab. His research focuses on advanced additive manufacturing, including mechanical design and engineering, additive and metal additive manufacturing, smart materials and structures, and 4D printing technologies, with applications spanning flexible manipulators, soft grippers, robotic materials, soft robotics, and bioprinting.

Prof. Stephanie Willerth | University of Victoria, Canada

Dr. Stephanie Willerth is a full Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Victoria. Her research program focuses on tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, 3D bioprinting, biomaterials, and stem cell–based approaches to generate functional human tissue models, particularly for complex neural tissues, by integrating advanced bioprinting technologies with biomaterial scaffolds to control stem cell differentiation and function.

 Prof. Vahid Serpooshan | UT Health Houston, USA

Dr. Vahid Serpooshan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics and Scientific Director of the Children’s Heart Institute (CHI) at McGovern Medical School, UTHealth Houston. His research focuses on 3D bioprinting-based tissue engineering, particularly cardiac tissue regeneration, engineered cardiac patches, and disease modeling, with an emphasis on translational and clinically relevant bioprinting and biomaterial technologies.

Prof. Keekyoung Kim |  University of Calgary, Canada

Dr. Keekyoung Kim is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering and Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Calgary. His research focuses on 3D bioprinting, biofabrication, biomaterials, tissue engineering, organ-on-a-chip systems, and related bioengineering technologies aimed at developing advanced platforms for regenerative medicine, disease modelling, and translational biomedical applications.

Prof. JOSE LUIS PEDRAZ MUÑOZ  | Universidad del Pais Vasco, Spain

Dr. José Luis Pedraz Muñoz is a Professor in the Department of Pharmacy and Food Sciences at the Universidad del Pais Vasco. He leads research in pharmaceutical technology, biomaterials, micro- and nanotechnologies, and advanced drug delivery systems, with active work on controlled release formulations, drug and gene delivery, tissue engineering scaffolds, and 3D bioprinting for biomedical applications through the NanoBioCel research group.

Prof. Min Zhang | Jiangnan University, China

Dr. Min Zhang is a Second-Level Professor and the Zhishan Distinguished Professor at Jiangnan University. He is a national-level talent of the “Hundred, Thousand, and Ten Thousand Talents Program” and a recipient of the Special Government Allowance of the State Council. He concurrently serves as Director of the International Joint Laboratory for Intelligent Processing and Quality Monitoring of Fresh Foods in Jiangsu Province and Director of the Key Laboratory for Fresh Food Processing and Preservation under the China Commercial Federation. In 2024, he was elected Fellow of the International Academy of Drying Research and Foreign Member of the Russian Academy of Engineering.

We warmly welcome our new Editorial Board Members and look forward to their valuable contributions to the journal’s academic development and global bioprinting community.
