Prof. Dr. Ir. Dean Vučinić is professor at the Brussels School of Governance (BSoG) at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), which he joined in 2017, as adjunct Professor in Global Business and Entrepreneurship/Bachelors and Masters Preparatory Programmes. He is also visiting Full Professor at Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Information Technology (FERIT), University of Osijek and Technical Faculty, University of Pula (UNIPU), both in Croatia. His work is mostly related to Research and Development (R&D) projects, and his interest covers scientific visualization, modelling and simulation, optimization methodologies and techniques. His Ph.D. became a book, as in the early 90's he developed "CFView - Computational Field Visualization System", the first-time-ever interactive visualization software for numerical simulations, fully based on the object oriented technology. In his 30 years at VUB, he has successfully participated in over 20 European Commission R&D projects (FP, H2020, EUREKA/ITEA and Tempus/Erasmus+). He is author of over 70 scientific papers in international reviewed journals and conference proceedings, and several book chapters. He is member of International Boards of Journals and Conferences, acting as chair, session organizer, reviewer and editor. He is the European Commission expert in H2020 and member of international organizations: AIAA, IEEE, ACM, SAE & ASME. 

Dr. Vidya Chandran is currently Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, SCMS School of Engineering and Technology, India, affiliated to APJ Abdulkalam Technological University, India. She earned her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the School of Mechanical Sciences, Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences, India. She did her research in numerical prediction of vortex induced vibration of offshore structures. Dr. Chandran did her Bachelors and Master’s degree in Thermal Engineering with specialization "Steam and Gas Turbines" from the Department of Thermal Engineering and Turbo-machinery, Peoples Friendship University of Russia, Russia. She is presently focused on research related to fluid structure interaction of bluff bodies, hydrokinetic power generation and renewable energy. She has more than 10 published articles including journal publications. Hydro Vortex Power Generator developed by her research team has attracted societal importance and was supported by Energy Management Centre, Government of Kerala, India. Dr. Chandran has received several awards including Dr. E C. George Sudharshan Endowment for academic excellence in 2000 and academic scholarship for professional education and higher studies in Russia in 2001 and 2005, consecutively.

 Prof. Dr. Alam Md. Mahbub is a professor at the Shenzhen Graduate School of Harbin Institute of Technology (China) since 2012. He worked as a senior lecturer at the University of Pretoria (South Africa), researchand postdoctoral fellows at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and lecturer at the Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology, Bangladesh. He received M.Eng. and Ph.D. degrees from Kitami Institute of Technology, Japan, in 2001 and 2004, in Mechanical Engineering. More than 180 technical articles are authored and co-authored, including 66 journal papers, most of which have been published in journals of national and international repute. He is the author of two books and 15 chapters in books. He has delivered 10 Keynote speeches at international conferences. His research has mostly involved fluid dynamics around single and multiple cylinders, flow-induced vibrations, fluid-structure interactions, airfoil aerodynamics, renewable energy, and flow controls. He has secured a total of RMB8 million research funding from national and international levels. Prof. Mahbub has received a number of awards: Japan Government Scholarship for Masters and Ph.D. studies, Japan Society for Promotion of Science Postdoctoral fellowship, South Africa National Research Foundation (NRF) rating ‘Promising Young Researcher, Y1’, Shenzhen High-Level Overseas Talent, Shenzhen High-Level Professional.
