Jude Okolie is an Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering at Bucknell University. He previously served as an Assistant Professor of Engineering Pathways at the University of Oklahoma. His research focuses on the thermochemical conversion of waste materials into green fuels and the utilization of hydrochar, biochar, and activated carbon for environmental remediation. His work also involves the application of process simulation, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to address challenges related to climate change, environmental pollution, and sustainable agriculture.

Dr. Okolie has received several prestigious local and international awards, including the George Ira Hanson Energy Award for his work on thermochemical hydrogen production and the USASK Service Award for his contributions to diversity and equity. He is a two-time recipient of the esteemed Engineering Devolved Scholarship at USASK for his outstanding contributions to clean energy research. Dr. Okolie also led the sustainability program in France and played a key role in developing the sustainable engineering course at Bucknell University.

Dr. Adewale Giwa is a faculty member in the Chemical and Water Desalination Engineering Program at the University of Sharjah, UAE. He specializes in Chemical Engineering and Industrial Chemical Processes, teaching courses on fluid mechanics, thermal sciences, and system design. His research focuses on membrane technologies, sustainable water treatment, and the integration of renewable energy in chemical processes. Dr. Giwa has authored over 90 peer-reviewed publications and secured over $3 million in research funding. Recognized as a top scientist globally, he is currently leading a project with IBM to enhance water access monitoring and forecasting.

Patrick Okoye is an associate professor at the Instituto de Energias Renovables of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mexico (IER-UNAM). He is interested in research and technology that will result in sustainable solutions to current challenges in energy and environmental pollution. His main research focus is the valorization of waste to produce porous materials that can be applied in heterogeneous catalysis, biofuels, energy storage, hydrogen storage, fine chemical synthesis, and liquid-phase adsorption processes. Dr. Okoye also works in the gamification of thermochemical processes and the application of machine learning, developing curricula and teaching courses on bioenergy, hydrogen and energy, fuel cells, and emerging contaminants at both undergraduate and graduate levels. He has published widely in reputable peer-reviewed journals and has been cited over 2,000 times. Dr. Okoye is a reviewer for several high-impact indexed journals and an editor in the Energy, Ecology, and Environment journal, Springer Nature.

Professor Bilainu Oboirien works in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Johannesburg in South Africa.
