Dr. John W. Sheffield, joined Purdue University in January 2015. He holds the title of Professor Emeritus of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Missouri University of Science and Technology and currently Professor of Engineering Technology at Purdue University. He served as one of the founding associate directors at the United Nations Industrial Development Organization - International Centre for Hydrogen Energy Technologies (UNIDO-ICHET) in Istanbul, Turkey. In 2019, he was elected as the President of the International Association for Hydrogen Energy. His career in hydrogen energy began in 1976 when he was working for Pratt and Whitney Aircraft in West Palm Beach, Florida developing highpower, continuous-wave, hydrogen-fluoride and deuterium-fluoride chemical lasers. For more than 42 years, he has served as an editor of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy. In 2019 he also became a part-time Professor at Xi’an Jiaotong University in Xi'an, China working with the School of Energy and Power Engineering on hydrogen energy technologies.

She is Professor at the department of Energy Systems Engineering, Erciyes University. She obtained her MsCdegree in 2002 from the department of Mechanical Engineering at University of Erciyes with a thesis on computational heat transfer in mixing process and her PhD degrees in 2008 from the same department with a thesis on transmutation of actinides and fission products in accelerator driven systems.In 2010, she was an academic visitor at the University of Bath. She studied on the heat transfer in porous mediums in Bath University. She has been teaching and supervised theses on renewable energy technologies, hydrogen and fuel cell technologies and nuclear energy technologies. She frequently acts as member of scientific committees and as reviewer for journals. She has a lot of papers related with these subjects. She is married and she has a son and a daughter.

ENesrin Demir, Ph.D., is a Professor at Erciyes University, Department of Energy Systems Engineering.
