Gas-Solid Adsorption Thermodynamics

Bidyut Baran Saha is a Professor and Principal Investigator at the International Institute for Carbon-Neutral Energy Research (WPI-I2CNER) of Kyushu University. His research focuses on adsorption science for carbon-neutral energy systems, functional materials, heat and mass transfer analysis, and energy efficiency assessment. He has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals and has edited multiple books. He holds numerous patents, and his work has significantly contributed to advances in thermal energy conversion and storage.

Tahmid Hasan Rupam is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Missouri-Columbia, USA, having previously been a JSPS postdoctoral research fellow at the International Institute for Carbon-Neutral Energy Research (WPI-I2CNER) of Kyushu University, Japan. His research expertise includes adsorption thermodynamics, sorption kinetics, functional adsorbent material synthesis and modification, surface energy analysis, and theoretical modelling of adsorption cooling/heating cycles.

Hongbin Ma is Chair, Curators' Distinguished Professor and Glen A. Barton Professor in the Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, and Director of the Multiphysics Energy Research Center (MERC) in the College of Engineering at the University of Missouri-Columbia, USA. He has conducted active research in phase-change heat transfer, heat pipes, ejector refrigeration, and thermal management. His research work has resulted in more than 310 publications, including one book, eight book chapters, over 170 refereed journal papers, and 21 patentable technologies.
