Thermofluid Modeling for Energy Efficiency Applications

Professor Masud Khan is currently the Head of the Mechanical Engineering Department at Auckland University of Technology, New
Zealand. He previously served as the Head of Department and School, Deputy Dean Research, School of Engineering and Technology
at Central Queensland University, Australia. His research and teaching interests are in thermofluids engineering, energy-efficient and
environmentally sustainable technologies including production, storage, and performance assessment of renewable energy, hydrogen,
and biofuels produced from various feedstock. He has made significant contributions in research providing fundamental solutions to
many complex projects, engineering education, and academic leadership. He spent three visiting professorial appointments in Canada
and the United States of America. He has over 410 publications including 3 edited books and 27 book chapters. Nur M. S. Hassan obtained his PhD in Engineering from Central Queensland University, Australia in 2011. He holds BSc degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science and is a recognized expert in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) at Central Queensland University. Dr. Hassan has wide experience in the experimental study and numerical simulation of engineering problems, particularly relating to fluid flow systems, heat transfer and renewable energy and has published over 42 scientific articles in journals and conferences including book chapters. He is a reviewer of scientific articles of several journals and is a member of the Australasian Fluid Mechanics Society, the Australian Fluid and Thermal Engineering Society, the Australian Society of Rheology and the Australasian Association of Engineering Education.
