Meet the editors

Professor Tatiana Morosuk (Tetyana Morozyuk) is the Head of the Department "Energy-Based Methods for Refrigeration Systems" at the Technische Universität Berlin, Germany. She studied refrigeration engineering in the Odessa State Academy of Refrigeration, Ukraine, and received her diploma in 1990. She received her Ph.D. in 1994 and Professorship in 2001, all in the Ukraine. Professor Morosuk has over twenty years teaching

experience in the fields of refrigeration, energy engineering, and applied thermodynamics. She is associated with several scientific organizations as well as many international energy-related conferences and recognized international journals. She serves as an associate editor for the following international journals: "International Journal of Energy and Environmental Engineering" (Springer), "International Journal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering" (Elsevier), "International Journal of Energy Research" (Wiley), "Energies" (MDPI), "Entropy" (MDPI), and "Journal of Energy Resources Technology" (ASME). Professor Morosuk's areas of scientific activities include the application of energy-based methods to the improvement of the thermodynamic, economic, environmental performance of different power generation systems, refrigeration/cryogenic systems and chemical plants. Particular attention is given to hydrogen economy, systems associated with the liquefaction of natural gas and the regasification of LNG, alternative refrigeration processes for sustainable industrial and commercial applications, and smart energy supply and use in industrial parks, including innovative concepts of liquid air energy storage. She is the author or co-author of 7 books and 12 book chapters as well as more than 300 publications and 10 patents. Fourteen Ph.D. theses and more than 100 master theses have been successfully completed under her supervision/co-supervision. Prof. Morosuk has vast administrative experience being the study dean of four international master's programs in Germany, and the Head of the Energy Engineering Department at TU Berlin Campus El Gouna.

Dr Muhammad Sultan is a Assistant Professor at Bahauddin Zakariya University, Pakistan. He received his Bachelor degree in agricultural engineering (2008) with distinctions and his Masters degree in environmental engineering (2010) from the University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan. Muhammad Sultan was awarded prestigious Monbukagakusho and JASSO fellowships from the Japanese government for his Ph.D. (2015) and postdoc-

toral studies (2017), respectively, in Energy & Environmental Engineering from Kyushu University, Japan. He also completed postdoctoral studies (2019) as a Canadian Queen Elizabeth II Advance Scholar in mechatronic systems engineering at Simon Fraser University, Canada). He has authored/co-authored more than 100 journal and conference articles. He has published 2 book chapters and edited/co-edited 2 books. He is serving as Regional Editor for the Evergreen Journal of Kyushu University. His research interests include HVAC, desiccant air-conditioning, evaporative cooling, adsorption cooling, energy recovery ventilator, adsorption heat pump, Maisotsenko cycle (M-cycle), wastewater, and agriculture and livestock applications.
