cv4=" Assoc. Prof. Kyriakos C. Giannakoglou, NTUA, Greece
Dr. Giannakoglou received his B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1982 and his Ph.D. degree in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for turbomachinery applications in 1987, all of them from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), Greece.
He currently serves as an Associate Professor in the Lab. of Thermal Turbomachines of the School of Mechanical Engineers of NTUA; he recently founded the Parallel CFD and Optimization Unit of the School of Mechanical Engineering of NTUA. His research interests include development of CFD methods for turbomachinery applications as well external aerodynamics, development of inverse design and optimization algorithms based on stochastic (evolutionary algorithms, ant colony optimization, etc) and deterministic (adjoint) methods and/or neural networks, as well parallelization of the corresponding software. His research group, which consists actually of approximately ten researchers/seven PhD students, has developed and brought to market the generic optimization software EASY (Evolutionary Algorithm SYstem), which is actually being used by various research groups in academia and industry. Prof. Giannakoglou is an active member of the ERCOFTAC Special Interest Group on Design Optimization and author of about 120 scientific papers. Major part of the research carried out by his group was/is funded by European industries. He is actually participating in the HISAC (design of an environmentally friendly supersonic business jet) project funded by EU.";
cv5="Dr. Xiao Jun Gu, CCLRC Daresbury Laboratory, England
Dr. Xiao-Jun Gu is a principal scientist in Computational Engineering Group of CCLRC Daresbury Laboratory at Warrington, one of the central laboratories in UK. He received his Ph.D degree in the University of Leeds. He has more than 10-year's experiences on modelling and numerical solutions of various types of flows. He developed an advanced in-house general purpose CFD package that can be used to compute laminar and turbulent flows in complex geometries. The code is fully parallel and recent work has focused on extending the code's capability to enable the computation of several challenging topics associated with fluid transport in Micro-Electro- Mechanical-Systems (MEMS).
Dr Gu main research interests include modelling nonequilibrium flows from local extinction in laminar and turbulent flames due to the straining and stretching effects on chemical reactions to nonequilibrium phenomena in rarefied gas flows. He is a recipient of the Sugden Award from the Combustion Institute (British Section) for his significant contribution to combustion research. In collaboration with Shell Global Solution, he worked on large jet fires and hotspot detonation. His works on combustion are of major scientific as well as practical significance. Recently, he developed his interest in rarefied gas dynamics with higher order moment method, particularly its applications in MEMS. His work on the wall boundary conditions for extended hydrodynamics models (EHM) and numerical strategy for low speed confined flows for high order moment method is unique. This paves the way for EHM to be used in industrial applications.
