Dr. Bharat A. Bhanvase is currently working as Professor and Head in Chemical Engineering Department at the Laxminarayan Institute of Technology, RTM Nagpur University, Nagpur, Maharashtra, India. His research interests focus on Wastewater Treatment, Solid Waste Management, Cavitation based processes for production, Nanomaterials and Nanocomposites, Process Intensification, Microfluidics, and Nanofluids. He obtained Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from University of Pune. He has written 29 book chapters in internationally renowned books, 3-edited book. Further, he is a recipient of the Young Scientists (Award) start- up research grant from Science and Engineering Research Board, New Delhi (India) in the year 2015. Also he was the recipient of Best Scientist Award from Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University in 2017. Divya Prakash Barai works in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Laxminarayan Institute of Technology, Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University, Nagpur, India. Gaweł Żyła is Associate Professor on Rzeszow University of Technology, Poland. His areas of research interests relate to experimental studies on rheology, thermal conductivity, mass density, isobaric heat capacity, surface tension and other physical properties of nanofluids and ionic liquids. He is co-author of almost 70 scientific papers published in international journals. He has been Visiting Professor on Mahatma Gandhi University (India), Université de Rennes 1 (France), Universidade de Vigo (Spain), Lund University (Sweden), University of Novi Sad (Republic of Serbia) and Instituto Nazionale di Ottica (Italy) Dr. Zafar Said is currently working as a Distinguished Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the United Arab Emirates University, UAE. He received his doctoral degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Malaya, Malaysia, and completed his postdoctoral research at Khalifa University, UAE. Dr. Said is a recognized leader in energy technology, nanofluids, and sustainable energy. His major areas of interest include heat transfer, solar energy systems, and advanced thermofluids. His research focuses on battery thermal management, enhancement of solar collectors using nanofluids and turbulators, and the development of stable nanorefrigerants and nanolubricants. He also applies artificial intelligence and machine learning to predict thermophysical properties and optimize energy systems. He is the recipient of several prestigious awards, including the Khalifa Award for Education as Distinguished University Professor (2025), the Future Pioneer Award in Sustainability (2025), and Best Academic Research at the 13th Dubai Award for Sustainable Transport (2024). He has also received the Research and Innovation Award from the UAE Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (2022) and First Place in Scientific Research at the Excellence and Creative Engineering Award (2023) by the Society of Engineers, UAE. In recognition of his contributions, he has been consistently ranked among the world’s top 2% of scientists in the field of energy by Elsevier BV and Stanford University. In addition to his academic duties, he actively serves in editorial roles for several international journals and is a frequent keynote speaker at global conferences.
