Keynote lectures
Tatiana Morosuk
professor of Technische Universität Berlin, Germany
Tatiana Morosuk is Professor of the Technical University of Berlin, Germany. She studied refrigeration engineering at the Odessa State Academy of Refrigeration (Diploma 1990), and she obtained her Ph.D. in 1994 and Professorship in 2001, all in Ukraine. The main objective of her research is to increase the sustainability of energy conversion systems from the thermodynamic, economic and ecological viewpoints. These activities in research and teaching cover a wide range of applications from power plants to refrigeration/cryogenic processes, and energy-intensive chemical plants. This includes smart energy supply and use in industrial parks, implementation of renewable energy, and innovative concepts of CO2 technologies. She is the author/co-author of 7 books and approximately 400 publications. Professor Morosuk is the director of the Institute for Energy Engineering at TU Berlin and the study dean of the four international energy-related master programs.
Alicia Valero Delgado
doctor of University of Zaragoza, Spain
Alicia Valero Delgado is head of the group of industrial ecology and resource efficiency
at the Research Centre for Energy Resources and Consumption (CIRCE - Institute)
and has been lecturer at the University of Zaragoza in the Mechanical Engineering Department,
a post she has occupied since 2007. Her more than fifteen years research activity
has been focused on the identification of resource efficiency measures and the application
of thermodynamics in the evaluation of resource depletion, subject from which
she has received four international awards.
She studied chemical engineering at the University of Zaragoza finishing her education
at the Université Paul Sabatier in Toulouse and the TU Berlin. Shortly afterwards,
she became a junior researcher at Siemens Power Generation in Berlin and a consultant
at PricewaterhouseCoopers (Madrid). She entered the Research Centre for Energy Resources
and Consumption (CIRCE) in 2003 and finished her Ph.D. in 2008 with a research stay
at the British Geological Survey.
In addition, she is the author or co-author of over 50 publications in international journals
and book chapters and over 60 international conference papers, all of which relate
to the analysis and optimisation of energy and the use of raw materials.
Soteris Kalogirou
professor of Cyprus University of Technology, Cyprus
Soteris Kalogirou is Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering
and Materials Sciences and Engineering of the Cyprus University of Technology,
Limassol, Cyprus. Currently, he is the chairman of the Department. He received his
Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Glamorgan (UK) in 1995. In June 2011,
he received the title of D.Sc. from the University of Glamorgan.
