Josua P. Meyer is a Professor, Head of the Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering, and Chair of the School of Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering, Built Environment and Information Technology. His area of research is convective heat transfer, which relies on the engineering sciences of heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and thermodynamics. He and his students and colleagues have made it possible to predict the heat transfer characteristics in the previously unknown transitional flow regime. He has published more than 800 articles, conference papers, and book chapters in the field of thermal sciences and has successfully supervised more than 100 PhD and MSc students. He established the Clean Energy Research Group at the University of Pretoria, which now has 40 full-time postgraduate students and 13 staff members. The group members have developed, designed, and built more than ten unique, state-of-the-art experimental setups, which are being used for leading-edge heat transfer research. No other similar experimental setup exists in the world. The group conducts joint research and publishes with scholars at EPFL, MIT, Ghent, Duke, and INSA Toulouse.

Michel De Paepe is a Professor of Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer at the Department of Flow, Heat and Combustion Mechanics of the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture of the Ghent University. He is the Program Director of the Master Electromechanical Engineering at the Ghent University. He was supervisor/promotor of 19 PhDs and 150 MScs defended at the Ghent University and is the coauthor of more than 400 articles and conference papers in the field of thermal sciences. In 2002, Professor De Paepe founded the research group Applied Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer. Research by this team, with about 15 PhD students and 3 staff members, focuses on thermodynamics of new energy systems, performance of HVAC systems, and complex heat transfer phenomena in industrial applications, as in compact heat exchangers, combustion engines, refrigerant two-phase flow, and electronics cooling. The team is internationally recognized as an authority in thermal measurement techniques. Several sensors developed by this team are being used by high-level laboratories around the world: the University of Pretoria, INSA Lyon, TU, EPFL, Imperial College London, and the University of Oxford.

Josua P. Meyer 是機械與航空工程系的教授、系主任，以及工程學院的院長。他的研究領域是對流熱傳遞，這依賴於熱傳遞、流體力學和熱力學的工程科學。他和他的學生及同事使得預測在先前未知的過渡流動範圍中的熱傳遞特性成為可能。他在熱科學領域發表了超過800篇文章、會議論文和書籍章節，並成功指導了超過100名博士和碩士生。他在比勒陀利亞大學成立了清潔能源研究小組，該小組目前擁有40名全職研究生和13名工作人員。小組成員已經開發、設計並建造了超過十個獨特的尖端實驗設置，這些設置用於前沿的熱傳遞研究。世界上不存在其他類似的實驗設置。該小組與EPFL、MIT、根特大學、杜克大學和INSA圖盧茲的學者進行聯合研究並發表論文。

Michel De Paepe 是根特大學工程與建築系流動、熱量與燃燒力學系的熱力學與熱傳遞教授。他是根特大學電機機械工程碩士課程的項目主任。他曾擔任19名博士生和150名碩士生的指導教授，這些學生在根特大學完成了學位，並且他是熱科學領域超過400篇文章和會議論文的共同作者。2002年，De Paepe教授成立了應用熱力學與熱傳遞研究小組。該小組的研究，擁有約15名博士生和3名工作人員，專注於新型能源系統的熱力學、HVAC系統的性能以及工業應用中的複雜熱傳遞現象，如緊湊型熱交換器、內燃機、製冷劑兩相流和電子冷卻。該小組在熱測量技術方面被國際公認為權威。該小組開發的幾種傳感器被世界各地的高水平實驗室使用，包括比勒陀利亞大學、INSA里昂、德國科技大學、EPFL、倫敦帝國學院和牛津大學。
