Biographical note

Florentin Smarandache, PhD, PostDocs, is an Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at the University of New Mexico, United States. He got his MSc in Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of Craiova, Romania, PhD in Mathematics from the State University of Kishinev, and Postdoctoral in Applied Mathematics from Okayama University of Sciences, Japan, and The Guangdong University of Technology, Guangzhou, China. He is the founder of neutrosophy (generalization of dialectics), neutrosophic set, logic, probability and statistics since 1995 and has published hundreds of papers and books on neutrosophic physics, superluminal and instantaneous physics, unmatter, quantum paradoxes, absolute theory of relativity, redshift and blueshift due to the medium gradient and refraction index besides the Doppler effect, paradoxism, outerart, neutrosophy as a new branch of philosophy, Law of Included Multiple-Middle, multispace and multistructure, HyperSoft set, TreeSoft Set, IndetermSoft Set and IndetermHyperSoft Set, SuperHyperGraph, SuperHyperTopology, SuperHyperAlgebra, SuperHyperFunction, Neutrosophic SuperHyperAlgebra, degree of dependence and independence between neutrosophic components, refined neutrosophic set, neutrosophic over-under-off-set, plithogenic set / logic / probability / statistics, symbolic plithogenic algebraic structures, neutrosophic triplet and duplet structures, quadruple neutrosophic structures, extension of algebraic structures to NeutroAlgebra and AntiAlgebra, NeutroGeometry and AntiGeometry, NeutroTopology and AntiTopology, Refined Neutrosophic Topology, Refined Neutrosophic Crisp Topology, Dezert-Smarandache Theory and so on to many peer-reviewed international journals and many books and he presented papers and plenary lectures to many international conferences around the world.

Zahid Khan is currently working as a scientific co-research fellow in the Department of Quantitative Methods at the University of Pannonia, Hungary. He holds a permanent position as an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Hazara University, Pakistan. He earned his PhD from the University Technology PETRONAS, Malaysia, in 2017. His research interests encompass robust estimation in fuzzy probability distributions, neutrosophic statistics, and statistical methods for industrial process control. Dr. Khan received the Talent Award Scholarship from the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan in 2006, a fellowship from Quaid-i-Azam University in 2007, and another fellowship from University Technology PETRONAS in 2013.
