**Meet the editors**

Bilge was born in Kayseri in 1979. She completed her high school education in 1996 in Kayseri. She received her BSc degree from Energy Division of Mechanical Engineering Department in Erciyes University in 2001 and her MSc degree in 2003 and PhD degree in 2009 from the Institute of Natural Science from the same university. She started her job as a research assistant at

the Mechanical Engineering Department in Erciyes University in 2001. She studied biogas alternative fuels at CNRS (The National Center for Scientific Research) in 2009. She is now an associate professor doctor in Mechanics in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Erciyes University. She has a lot of national and international articles in SCI index. She worked in many research projects about internal combustion engines, supported by TUBITAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) and Erciyes as a supervisor. Her research interests involve the following: internal combustion engine, alternative fuels, computational fluid dynamics, and energy.

Research Assistant Melih Yıldız was born in Sivas, Turkey, in 1979, and he graduated in Mechanical Engineering at Erciyes University in 2002. He worked in a private company that produced heating equipment, such as steam boiler and heat exchanger, as a manufacturing director for seven years. He was involved in many projects such as the establishment of heating plants in

that period. He started working at Iğdır University, Turkey, as a research assistant in 2011. Since 2012, he has been a research assistant at Erciyes University. He received his MSc degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2013 from Erciyes University. He went on to complete his PhD thesis that was related to low-temperature combustion engines. He has experience in the establishment of engine experimental setups and took part in many research projects about internal combustion engines. His research area consists of internal combustion engines, alternative fuels, computational fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and thermodynamics.
