Professor Akeel Shah graduated with a first-class honours degree in Mathematical Physics in 1995 and a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics (both from University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology) in 2001. He is currently a professor in the School of Energy and Power Engineering at the Chongqing University, China, with expertise in electrochemical energy conversion, computational engineering and applied machine learning. He previously held positions at University of Southampton and University of Warwick. His work is primarily focused on the modelling and simulation of energy conversion devices, including computational modelling, and the development of fast algorithms for computer codes in science and engineering based on machine learning and computational statistics. Between 2004 and 2006, he held a joint Pacific Institute of Mathematics Sciences (PIMS) and Mathematics of Information Technology and Complex Systems (MITACS) Fellowship. He is the author of over 85 publicationsin leading international peer-reviewed journals. Professor Shah has worked closely with the fuel cell and battery industry (Ballard Power Systems, Johnson Matthey Plc, Sharp Laboratories, ACAL Energy Ltd) to develop models/numerical codes for design purposes. He has received funding from the TSB, FP7, DSTL and directly from industry.
Professor Puiki Leung is currently a professor in the School of Energy and Power Engineering at the Chongqing University, China. He holds a B.Eng. in Mechanical Engineering (2008) and a Ph.D. in Electrochemical Engineering from the University of Southampton (2011). He has completed his postdoctoral research at institutes such as the University of Oxford, the University of Warwick and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, where he worked on a variety of electrochemical technologies (batteries, organic synthesis, CO2 reduction). His research interests include functional materials for energy conversion and storage applications. Heis the author of more
