Prof. Chafic-Touma SALAME, European Academy for Sustainable Development
He obtained his PhD in Physics from Perpignan University in 2000, HDR Diploma (Research Director) in 2005 and the Health physics Diploma from the Delft University of Technology, Netherlands in 2001. Since 2008 he’s Full Professor at the Lebanese University and managing a research team in the renewable energy and sustainable development. Since 2010, Project Manager for Erasmus+ European Projects related to Sustainability and Environment Protection. Founder and President for the Conferences Series of Technologies and Materials for Renewable Energy, Environment and Sustainability TMREES. Guest editor of more than 50 Special Issues with the following Publishers: Inderscience, Elsevier, the American Institute of Physics and Emerald insight.
Prof. Michel Aillerie, Universite de Lorraine & Centrale Supelec
He obtained a PhD in 1991 and the Habilitation to Lead Researches in 2001 at the Université Paul Verlaine of Metz, currently Université de Lorraine. He is Professor since 2005 and makes his research in the city of Metz at the Laboratoire Materiaux Optiques et Photonique, LMOPS, join laboratory of the Université de Lorraine and CentraleSupelec – Université de Paris-Saclay, France. He is researcher in the team “Materials, Components and Systems for Photovoltaic” for which he is the leader. He collaborates in several national, European and international research projects and is co-general Chair of the TMREES International Conference series. He is author of more than 150 publications in international journals and in more than 250 international conference proceedings with selection on full text. He was regularly invited as speaker in international conferences and was guest editor of about 10 issues of international scientific revues. His interests and activities concern two main themes. The first one concerns the characterization of functional non-linear optical properties of materials for optoelectronic applications. The second one concerns the development and optimization of energy production and management systems in a sustainable development approach.
Summary
In order to maintain a sustainable resources for the next generations, it will be crucial to handle carefully the finite non-renewable resources. The employment of renewable materials can contribute to the achievement of the sustainability target by saving costs, enabling innovation, save fossil resources and contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Collected articles cover a wide range of scientific research and engineering solutions in renewable materials sciences - materials for renewable energy and electronics, functional nanomaterials, polymers, composites, corrosion behavior and corrosion protection of structural materials, materials and technologies in the practice of environmental engineering.
