Autorenporträt

Prof. Tien-Chien Jen joined the University of Johannesburg in August 2015. He received his PhD in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from UCLA, specializing in thermal aspects of grinding. He has received several competitive grants for his research, including those from the US National Science Foundation, the US Department of Energy, and the EPA. Prof. Jen has brought in $3 million of funding for his research and has received various awards for his research including the NSF GOALI Award. Prof. Jen has established a Joint Research Centre with the Nanjing Tech University of China on the "Sustainable Materials and Manufacturing." Prof. Jen is also the Director of the newly established Atomic Layer Deposition Research Centre of the University of Johannesburg. In 2011, Prof. Jen was elected as a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), which recognized his contributions to the field of thermal science and manufacturing. In 2021, he was inducted into the Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf). Prof. Jen has written over 360 peer-reviewed articles, including 180 peer-reviewed journal papers. He has written 16 book chapters and published 5 books.

Dr. Edwell Tafara Mharakurwa is a Lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Dedan Kimathi University of Technology (DeKUT), Kenya, where he has also been the Chair of the Electrical and Electronic Engineering department since 2020. He served as a Teaching Assistant (2011-2012) and Lecturer (2015-2016) in the Department of Mechatronics Engineering at Chinhoyi University of Technology, Zimbabwe.
