Dr. Lin Chen is now a full Professor in the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and a joint professor in the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, China. His current research topics include unconventional energy resources (methane hydrate), supercritical fluids, multiscale heat/mass transfer, and advanced measurement techniques. In recent years, he has authored more than 120 well-cited international journal papers, conference papers/presentations/keynotes. He was the winner of AUTSE Young Scholar Award in 2018. He is the Associate Editor of ASME JNERS and board for The J. of Supercritical Fluids (Elsevier). He has published several books/chapters, including the most famous one on energy conversion ("Advanced Applications of Supercritical Fluids in Energy Systems”, IGI Global, 2017, 680 pages). Dr. Sukru Merey is an Associate Professor in Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering, Batman University, Turkey. He graduated BSc., MSc. and PhD from Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering, Middle East Technical University, Turkey in 2009, 2013, and 2017 respectively. He worked as a well completion engineer at Turkish Petroleum Corporation more than 1 year between 2010 and 2011. His current research topics include well completion, well stimulation, reservoir simulation, adsorption, CO2 sequestration, shale gas reservoirs, coalbed methane, and gas hydrates.
