Mayken Espinoza-Andaluz, PhD, is a full professor at Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral (ESPOL) and co-supervisor of PhD students in Heat Transfer and Energy Systems at Lund University. He earned his PhD in Heat Transfer from the Department of Energy Sciences at Lund University. His areas of research include renewable energy, fuel cells, proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), physical and chemical phenomena, energy efficiency, Lattice Boltzmann methods (LBM), and computational modeling. He is a reviewer for a number of international journals, including the International Journal of Energy Research, International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, and Computers and Mathematics with Applications.

Martin Andersson, PhD,  is an associate professor at Lund University. He earned his doctoral degree from the Division of Heat Transfer, Department of Energy Sciences at Lund University. Dr. Andersson was awarded the title of Docent in 2014, and in 2015 he was granted a Marie Curie Fellowship, one of Europe's most competitive and prestigious awards to foster interdisciplinary research and international collaborations. His primary areas of research include analysis of heat and mass transfer and other transport phenomena in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC). His current research interests are focused on a comprehensive understanding of chemical reactions and nano-/micro-structured porous material effects on various transport processes in various components of fuel cell systems. He has been a reviewer for a number of international journals, including the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, International Journal of Energy Research, Energy and Fuels, Journal of Power Sources, and Journal of Porous Media.
