Prof. Em. Kemal Hanjalic: Professor Emeritus, Delft University of Technology

Kemo Hanjalic, MSc (Univ. of Birmingham), PhD (Imperial College), served as HeKemal Hanajalicad of Thermal and Fluids Sciences at TU Delft (1994-2005), and prior to that as Professor at the Michigan University of Technology, USA, and the University of Sarajevo, BH. He was a guest Professor at the Univ. of Erlangen (1991-93) and TU Darmstadt (Ge) (2005-2007), held an (EU) Marie Curie Chair at “Sapienza” University of Rome (2007-2010) and was Lead Scientist (a “mega”grant of the Russian Federation 2011-2016) at the Novosibirsk State University. He has published on topics of fluid flow and turbulence, heat transfer, combustion and MHD, and has been internationally recognized as a major contributor to the development of mathematical models of turbulence. Kemo has also worked on the developments of piston and screw compressors, entrained coal-gasification, pulse combustors, detonation wave technique for deposit removal (2 patents). He (co)-authored 4 books, edited 12 volumes and served as Editor-in-Chief of the “Flow, Turbulence and Combustion” journal (Springer, 2005-2015). He received a Max Plank Research Award (Ge), a D.Sc.(Eng) from the Univ. London (UK), Dr.h.c. of the University of Reims (Fr), and is an International Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, and a Fellow of the Institute of Physics, of ASME and of ICHMT. He is 'Commander 1st Class of the Order Lion of Finland' and 'Officer of the (Royal Dutch) Order Oranje-Nassau’.

Prof. Ian Arbon: Senior Partner, Engineered Solutions

Ian Arbon is a Chartered Mechanical Engineer, a Registered European Engineer and a Chartered Environmentalist, with an MSc in ‘Renewable Energy and the Environment’ and an MBA. Formerly MD of gas compressor suppliers: Howden Compressors Ltd, Caledonian Compressors Ltd and Peter Brotherhood Ltd, he now runs Engineered Solutions, a Sustainable Engineering consultancy, as well as being non-executive Chairman of Vert Rotors UK Ltd. Ian is a Fellow of IMechE; having chaired its Energy, Environment & Sustainability Group and its Renewable Power Committee, he is now spearheading the Institution’s work in Energy Storage (and Lead Author of its 2014 Report). He is also a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Energy Institute, the Institute of Refrigeration and the Institute of Engineers & Shipbuilders in Scotland; he has been a Visiting Professor in Alternative Energy at Newcastle University and Module Leader for ‘Energy Policies, Politics and Ethics’ on its REFLEX and REEM MSc courses since 2006; he has been an Honorary Professor in Sustainable Energy at the University of Glasgow since 2010 and also teaches on its Renewable Energy MSc courses, including sessions on gas compressors and expanders. Ian is also the author of two textbooks on gas compression technology.

Prof. Quanke Feng: Professor, Xi’an Jiaotong University

Quanke Feng, 64 years old, professor in Xi’an Jiaotong University in China. He is the former chairmen of the National Compressor Industry Association Technical Committee, and also enjoyed the State Council special allowance. His research field is in power engineering and engineering thermodynamics, specially in compressor, refrigeration and cryogenic machinery. He has published more than 100 paper in different journals and conferences, and obtained more than 20 invention patents. These include an environment test facility for manned spacecraft, reciprocating-piston compressors, the China Advanced Research Reactor cold neutron source design and the development and testing of single screw compressors, in which, as a result of ten years of intensive investigation, his research group has made great breakthroughs in their profile design and manufacture.
