Bang-Yen Chen, a Taiwanese-American mathematician, is Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Michigan State University, USA, since 2012. He completed his Ph.D. degree at the University of Notre Dame, USA, in 1970, under the supervision of Prof. Tadashi Nagano. He received his M.Sc. degree from National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, in 1967, and B.Sc. degree from Tamkang University, Taipei, Taiwan, in 1965. Earlier at Michigan State University, he served as University Distinguished Professor (1990–2012), Full Professor (1976), Associate Professor (1972), and Research Associate (1970–1972). He taught at Tamkang University, Taiwan, from 1966 to 1968, and at National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan, during the academic year 1967–1968. He is responsible for the invention of δ-invariants (also known as Chen invariants), Chen inequalities, Chen conjectures, development of the theory of submanifolds of finite type, and co-developed (M+, M–)-theory. An author of 12 books and more than 500 research articles, Prof. Chen has been Visiting Professor at various universities, including the University of Notre Dame, USA; Science University of Tokyo, Japan; the University of Lyon, France; Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium; the University of Rome, Italy; National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan; and Tokyo Denki University, Japan. Mohammad Hasan Shahid is Professor at the Department of Mathematics, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, India. He earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Aligarh Muslim University, India, on the topic “On geometry of submanifolds” in 1988 under (Late) Prof. Izhar Husain. Earlier, he served as Associate Professor at King Abdul Aziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, from 2001 to 2006. He was a recipient of the postdoctoral fellowship from the University of Patras, Greece, from October 1997 to April 1998. He has published more than 100 research articles in various national and internationaljournals of repute. Recently, he was awarded the Sultana Nahar Distinguished Teacher award of the Year 2017–2018 for his outstanding contribution to research. For research works and delivering talks, Prof. Shahid has visited several universities of the world: the University of Leeds, UK; the University of Montpellier, France; the University of Sevilla, Spain; Hokkaido University, Japan; Chuo University, Japan; and Manisa Celal Bayar University, Turkey.
