Andrzej L. Wasiak is involved in several research topics belonging mainly to the area of production engineering. His interests are focused on experimental studies as well as mathematical modelling of various processes important for creation of materials, products or harvesting of energy, especially from renewable resources. Results of research concern phase transitions occurring in production technologies, energetic effectiveness of biofuel production, and studies of recycling processes in relation to the idea of sustainable development. In his approach sustainability is idealized notion that can be realized only as asymptotic solution i.e. at any instant of time only with some limited accuracy. Therefore seeking for appropriate measures is an important scientific task. Professor Wasiak is the active academic teacher, and also a member of several Polish and International Scientific Organizations.

Prof. Hussam Jouhara is an associate professor in Brunel University London. Since obtaining his PhD from Manchester University in 2004. He has unique expertise in working on applied heat exchangers and energy-related research activities with direct support from research councils and various UK and international industrial partners. He has extensive expertise in designing and manufacturing various types of heat exchangers, including heat pipes and heat pipe-based heat exchangers for low, medium and high temperature applications. Throughout his academic and industrial career, he received over £6.5M in research funding from various UK/EU based research councils (RCUK & EU H2020) and from British and European industrial partners. He is a published author of many journal papers, academic books and many filed patents in areas related to heat pipes engineering and manufacturing and Energy from Waste systems. He is a Chartered Engineer and Fellow of both Engineers Ireland (Ireland) and IMechE (UK).

He has extensive expertise in designing and manufacturing various types of heat exchangers, including heat pipes and heat pipe-based heat exchangers for low, medium and high temperature applications. His work in the field of heat pipe based heat exchangers resulted in novel designs for recouperators, steam generators & condensers and flat heat pipes. These have been implemented across various industries including, but not limited to: food, electronics thermal management and low to high industrial waste heat recovery and Energy from Waste.
