Dr. Hamid Reza Vanaei is an Associate Professor at the Research Center, Leonardo da Vinci University Pole. He got his MSc and PhD in Mechanics of Materials in Arts et Métiers, Paris, France. He has 6 years of experience in Material Science, Mechanical Engineering, and Additive Manufacturing. He worked as a postdoc to apply Artificial Intelligence and ML toward the optimization of Turbomachinery.
Prof. Sofiane Khelladi received his degree in Mechanical Engineering from the National Polytechnic School of Algiers in 1999 (Algeria), and his MSc in Energy Conversion from Sorbonne Université (France) in 2003. In 2005, he got his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the Arts et Métiers Institute of Technology (ENSAM) in France. He is currently a Full Professor at ENSAM. He has served as Director of the Laboratory of Fluid Engineering and Energy Systems (LIFSE) since 2020. He is co-founder of the joint laboratory with Valeo on the theme of Thermal Systems Engineering for Land Mobility (ISYTHERM), which he has headed since 2018. He headed the Energy, Turbomachinery, and Internal Fluid Flows Research Group of DynFluid Laboratory at ENSAM from 2014 to 2019. His research work concerns fluid flow modeling and analysis for the design of complex fluid and energy systems and more particularly turbomachines. The scientific approach that he favors is predominantly theoretical and numerical with an experimental component-oriented, in most cases, for validation purposes.
Ivan Dobrev is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Media, Arts & Design, PXL School of Arts, Hasselt, Belgium. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts at the Akademie Beeldende Kunsten (1996) and obtained his Master's degree at the Department of Fine Arts as a Laureate of Jan Van Eyck Academy, (1996–1998) Maastricht, The Netherlands. Central to his doctoral research is the system of Troyan ceramics in the context of contemporary (polychromatic) sculpture. The study endeavors to define the specific features of traditional ceramics, such as ornament and color by focusing on the actuality, relevance, and application of these features in conceptual and practical re-evaluation within the broad scope of contemporary art practice. On the strength of its nature, the interdisciplinary study represents the focal point at which tradition, innovation, and technology meet, and so outlines the criteria for the innovative and successful realization of the artistic product. He has been awarded the Basis Stipendium of BKVB, 2001, and the award from the Department of Fine Arts at Jan van Eyck Academy, 1998.
Farid Bakir has been a Professor at the Arts et Métiers Institute of Technology, Paris, France, since 1986. He has 292 publications with 2749 citations (ResearchGate, 26 October). His skills and expertise include Numerical Simulation, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Aerodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, CFD Simulation, Experimental Fluid Mechanics, Computational Fluid Mechanics, Gas Dynamics, Aeronautics, and Turbomachinery.
