Dr. Chen Weidong is currently a research fellow from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, National University of Singapore (NUS). He completed his undergraduate coursework at Tongji University, during which time he received the first prize scholarship every year and won the Outstanding Graduates of Shanghai in 2018. As the recipient of the NUS research scholarship, he started his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from NUS in 2018, under Prof. Kian Jon Chua's supervision. During his doctoral training, he focused on the experiment and simulation investigation of a multi-generation system to achieve improved energy performance. The multi-generation system is able to high-efficiently produce electricity, cooling, heating, potable water, dry and cool air by harnessing waste thermal energy. So far, he has published six research papers in the top journal of Applied energy (APEN), Energy conversion and management (ECM), and Energy. His specific research focus areas include CCHP, waste heat recovery, temperature cascade utilization system, adsorption chiller, absorption chiller, multi-objective optimization, optimal operating strategy analysis, and system simulation by employing Monte Carlo simulation and Simulink platform.

Mr. Huang Zhifeng is currently pursuing his Ph.D., as the recipient of thelóT
