Researchers, Significant Achievement Award, Research Impact Award, and The Most Productive Researcher Award from his previous employers due to his significant contribution in high impact factor international journals. He also won Gold Medals at international research exhibitions for his outstanding research prototypes. Dr. Hussein has recently been listed in Australia's Top 40 Superstars Researchers who are lifetime achievers in their fields across all disciplines (ranked number 3 among the five best-performing researchers in physics and mathematics/thermal sciences).



Hari Vuthaluru completed his Ph.D. from the University of Newcastle on the pre-treatment of coal for remediation of ash-related problems in power utilities. Before commencing research work in Australia, he completed both Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in India and gained invaluable experience in several roles withEngineers India Ltd, Delhi. He is currently an Associate Professor and has worked as a Course Coordinator for 14 years for all graduate programs in the Department of Chemical Engineering. For the last several years, Dr. Vuthaluru has made extensive contributions in the area of coal and biomass combustion research at national and international levels. His specific research interests include optimization of power utility equipment and chemical process units through CFD modeling, design and commissioning of bench-/pilot-scale facilities for coal conversion processes, ash-related issues in power utilities, desalination, and predictive tools for oil and gas industries, which include NTPC-India, BHEL-India, PT Berau and West Java power utility in Indonesia, Energy Research Foundation and KEMA in Holland and CSIRO, ACIRL, University of Newcastle, Wesfarmers Coal, and Transfield Worley in Australia. He has published six book chapters, one research book, and more than 244 articles (refereed journal papers, conference papers, and industrial reports). Dr. Vuthaluru hasrecently been listed among the World's Top 2% Scientists List 2020 in the energy space, according to a Stanford University study. Dr. Vuthaluru is a Fellow of the Institute of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) and a lifetime Senior Member of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE).
