Professor Morsi is the director of the Petroleum Engineering Program at the Swanson School of Engineering, University of Pittsburgh, USA. His research activities focus on reactor and process engineering; CO2 capture from flue gas, fuel gas, air, and natural gas using chemical and physical solvents; enhanced oil recovery using CO2 and alcohols; and CO2 sequestration in depleted gas/oil reservoirs, deep coal seams, and underground

saline aquifers. Professor Morsi received a BS (1972) in Petroleum Engineering from Cairo University, Egypt, and an MS (1977), a Ph.D. (1979), and an ScD (1982), all in Chemical Engineering from Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Industries Chimiques, University of Lorrain, France.

Dr. Hseen Baled is currently an Assistant Professor of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh, USA, where he received his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering. He was previously a research fellow at the National Energy Technology Laboratory, Pittsburgh. He graduated with a degree in Process Engineering from Rheinisch-Westfälishce Technische Hochschule (RWTH) Aachen University, Germany, in 20003.

His research interests include the thermophysical properties of hydrocarbons at high pressure, high-temperature conditions, and technical challenges associated with oil recovery from ultra-deep petroleum reservoirs.
