Authors

Seyed Mojtaba Sadrameli Faculty of Chemical Engineering, Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran. Dr. Sadrameli was a senior Professor of Chemical Engineering at TMU, Tehran, Iran. He received B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from Sharif University, Tehran in 1980, M.Sc. and Ph.D. from Leeds University, UK in 1984 and 1988. His research interests focus on industrial heat recovery systems, thermal energy storage systems using PCMs, and thermo-chemical conversion of biomass and polymer wastes to biofuels and valuable chemicals. His current projects involve encapsulation of PCM materials for thermal energy storage applications and production of biofuels from thermal and catalytic cracking of triglycerides and pyrolysis of biomass wastes and non-edible oil seeds. Mohammad Fakhroleslam Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering, Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran. Mohammad received B.Sc. in 2010 and M.Sc. in 2012 from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, and Ph.D. in 2017 from the University of Tehran, Iran, all in Chemical Engineering. He was a Visiting Ph.D. Student at DISIM, University of L'Aquila, Italy from October 2016 to February 2017, and a Visiting Professor at the same university in Spring 2018. He is an Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering at Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran, since Fall 2018. His research interests include optimization and control of process systems, nonlinear dynamics, Hybrid systems, and value chain management in oil, gas, and petrochemical industries.
