Feature papers represent the most advanced research with significant potential for high impact in the field. A Feature
Paper should be a substantial original Article that involves several techniques or approaches, provides an outlook for
future research directions and describes possible research applications.
Feature papers are submitted upon individual invitation or recommendation by the scientific editors and must receive
positive feedback from the reviewers.
Editor’s Choice articles are based on recommendations by the scientific editors of MDPI journals from around the world.
Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe will be particularly
interesting to readers, or important in the respective research area. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the
most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal.
As Editor-in-Chief of Energies, I am pleased to announce the winners of the Energies Travel Awards for 2018:
Travel Awards were granted to Ms. Lihui Gao, PhD student in the Chemical Engineering department of the China University of Mining and Technology and visiting scholar at the Energy Engineering Department of Pennsylvania State University; and to Dr. Joonho Jeon, post-doctoral researcher at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Minnesota. Ms. Gao focuses on the research of sustainable fuels and materials for environmental applications. Dr Jeon’s research focuses on the characterization of nanoparticle distributions in direct injection gasoline engines. Each Awardee will receive 800 Swiss Francs to attend an international conference in 2018:
Ms. Lihui Gao will present her work entitled “In Situ Upgrading of Pyrolysis Biofuels and Heterogeneous Biochars by Mineral Incorporation into Biomass: Chemical vs. Mechanical Catalyst Mechanisms” at the “Fall 2018 National American Chemical Society Meeting”, which will be held on 19 August 2018 in Boston, MA, USA.
Dr. Joonho Jeon will present his work entitled “Characterization of Nanoparticle Distributions with in-Cylinder Flame Behaviors in a Gasoline Direct Injection Engine” at the “37th International Symposium on Combustion” which will be held on 29 July 2018 in Dublin, Ireland.
It was a very difficult decision with such high-quality applications for the awards, and we would like to thank all the applicants in various fields of study for their participation and all the Award Committee members for their evaluation of the abundant excellent applications. On behalf of the assessment committee, I congratulate the winners for their accomplishments.
