About the authors
Mr Elias Christoforou, PhD candidate at Frederick University, studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of Cyprus from 2007 until 2011 and attended from 2011 to 2013 the post graduate program in energy technologies and sustainable design at the University of Cyprus. Since February 2013, Mr. Christoforou is a research associate at Frederick Research Center, as a member of the Sustainable Energy Research Group (SERG). Mr. Christoforou’s research topic concerns the physical, elemental and proximal characterization of second generation biomass feedstock.
Dr.-Ing Paris Fokaides, Aristotle University Mechanical Engineer (2002) and Karlsruhe University Phd holder (2009) in the field of sustainable energy technologies (experimental combustion), is an Assistant Professor at Frederick University, Cyprus, at the School of Engineering in the field of thermo-fluids and the Academic supervisor of the Sustainable Energy Research Group at Frederick University. As of 2018,Dr Fokaides is the author of over 50 ISI journal papers and 13 book chapters. He is a founding member of European Biomass Research Network and member of sustainable biofuels WG of the EU SET Plan. His research achievements include a European patent on a fuel injection system, the participation in numerous research projects (total grants of affiliated institutions over 3.5 M€) and a best technical paper award by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers on his work for double swirl lifted flamesBibliographic Information
