Christos N. Markides
Christos N. Markides is a Senior Lecturer in Clean Energy Processes and heads the Clean Energy Processes (CEP) research group at the Department of Chemical Engineering and the cross-faculty Energy Efficiency Network at Imperial College London. He was awarded a first class B.A. degree with honours, a M.Eng. with distinction, a M.A., and a finally a Ph.D. in energy technologies in 2006, all from the University of Cambridge. His current research interests focus primarily on the application of fundamental principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat and mass transport to innovative, high-performance heat exchange systems, renewable energy technologies, and thermodynamic systems for energy (heat and power) conversion, integration, and storage, with emphasis on the efficient utilization of low-grade (solar or waste) heat. He acted as a Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the 13th UK Heat Transfer Conference (UKHTC 2013).
Andrew L. Heyes
Andrew L. Heyes is a Professor of energy technology and environment at the University of Leeds. He studied mechanical engineering at the University of Manchester and obtained a B.Eng. degree in 1989, graduating with first class honors. He then went on to obtain a M.Sc. in 1991 and a Ph.D. in 1994, also from Manchester, for the development and application of laser-based flow diagnostic techniques. In 1992 he joined Rolls-Royce plc and in 1995 moved to Imperial College London, joining the Department of Mechanical Engineering as a Lecturer in thermofluids. He left Imperial College in July 2013 as Reader in heat transfer, Deputy Director of the Energy Futures Laboratory, and Director of the Sustainable Energy Futures master's course program. His research interests lie in the areas of experimental thermofluids, sustainable/renewable energy and energy efficiency in commercial and industrial processes and the built environment. He also acted as a Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the 13th UK Heat Transfer Conference (UKHTC 2013).
