O autorze

Dr Jonathan Nixon is an Associate Director at Coventry University’s Research Centre for Computational Science and Mathematical Modelling. Dr Nixon has carried out a wide range of research projects on solar, wind and bio energy technologies, with a particular focus on improving their performance and reliability for disadvantaged communities. His research has involved deploying smart solar energy interventions in refugee camps in Africa, designing hybrid solar-biomass systems in rural India and improving the performance of wind turbine in cold climates. He is currently leading the Innovate UK Energy Catalyst project Solar Energy Transitions (SET): Inclusive e-cooking in sub-Saharan Africa. He was the Conference Chair for the 3rd International Conference on Energy and Sustainable Futures held at Coventry University in 2022.

Professor Amin Al-Habaibeh is Professor of Intelligent Engineering Systems within the Product Design team at Nottingham Trent University. Amin's research helps reshaping futures by creating a positive impact on individuals and society. He is the Director of the national DTA-Energy (Doctoral Training Alliance) and also the Director of Product Innovation Centre. His research and teaching activities focus on several multi-disciplinary topics in the broad area of product design and innovation, automation, energy, condition monitoring and artificial intelligence. Amin is currently leading the Innovative and Sustainable Built Environment Technologies research group (iSBET) and co-founder of the Advance Design and Manufacturing Engineering Centre (ADMEC). Amin has over 180 international publications and patents, and his research work has been highlighted by major TV channels and newspapers such as the CNN, the BBC, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, The Sun and The Daily Mail.

 

Dr Vladimir Vukovic works as a Senior Research Lecturer in BIM & Energy Reduction in Built Environment at Teesside University. Dr Vukovic's research interests include sustainable (energy efficient, socially acceptable, environmentally friendly) building design and operation - whole life cycle approach - and in particular: building information modelling (BIM) and digital construction twins, cyber physical system simulation and optimization, predictive controls, indoor environmental quality, energy efficiency implications on occupants' wellbeing and productivity, energy aware social networking enabled through smart metering, energy blockchain, augmented reality applications in the built environment. Dr Vukovic currently serves as a Deputy Director of Doctoral Training Alliance (DTA) in Energy.
