Mansour Qubeissi

Summary

Dr Mansour al Qubeissi (MPhil from Royce Rolls UTC TFMRC, Sussex University, 2012; PhD from the Advanced Engineering Centre (UK APC Spoke), University of Brighton, 2015) is a Senior Lecturer in thermo-fluids, a Charted Engineer MIMechE, Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a member of the Institute for Future Transport and Cities. His career accumulates 15 years of research, industry, and academic experiences. He is experienced in computational thermos-fluids, automotive engineering, and CFD of internal-combustion processes. His research efforts have resulted in dissemination of above 65 of internationally refereed journal articles, conference papers, research communications, and monographs.

Dr Qubeissi was recognised for several society and academic achievements, such as: 2010 Award winner, by UNLTD, as the best social entrepreneur for developing a social-engineering project of “NETWORKING”; 2009 UK-CARA Research Award with value of £7k for his achievement while doing MPhil at the University of Sussex; and A STEMNET Ambassador for the West Midlands – UK.

During his academic career, Dr Qubeissi has been involved in supervising above 65 final year/MSc projects, including industrial groups, sponsored by world leading automotive industry – e.g. Jaguar and Land Rover and MAHLE powertrain, and 3 PhD students. He has been involved in the following academic/research projects:

·  Feb 2017 – Oct 2018, Coordinator of ERASMUS+ KA107 Round 2 2016 Grant, 2017. Higher education student and staff mobility between Programme and Partner Countries International Credit Mobility, Ref No. 2016-2-UK01-KA107-034987.

·  Oct. 2012 - Sept. 2015, as a PhD student: funding by the University of Brighton with a project value £55,650, entitled: Investigation of heating and evaporation of multi-component droplets, sponsored in the form of 3-year PhD studentship. This was successfully completed in April 2015; and

·  April 2013 - March 2015, partner of ‘Energy Efficiency and Environment: a Cross-Channel Cluster (E3C3)’, sponsored by the European regional development fund of INTERREG Iva, which was successfully completed in March 2015. Total project value: €3.5 million for 2 years, funding to the group was £209,524.

He has served in many professional activities as:

·  An Editorial Borad member of the Open Fuels & Energy Science Journal (2017),

·  A Reviewer of the Applied Thermal Engineering (journal) (2016),

·  A Reviewer of Micromachines (journal) (2016),

·  A Reviewer for the 12th International Conference on Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics (2016),

·  A Scientific and Technical Committee & Editorial Review Board member of the World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology (WASET) - field: Energy and Power Engineering (2014-present),

·  A Reviewer of the International Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Automation (IJMEA) (2015-present),

·  A Scientific Committee Member of the International Conference on the Finite Volume Method: Applications & Numeric (e.g. ICFVM 2016) (2015-present).

·  A Reviewer for the 27th European Conference on Liquid Atomization and Spray Systems (ILASS 2016).

·  A Designated Reviewer for several IEEE proceedings (2012-2014);

·  A Chairing Member of the University of Brighton Science and Engineering Research Conferences (2013-2014).

Positions

Education

Professional interests

My current research interest falls within the development of new mathematical models for the heating, evaporation and ignition processes of multi-component and blended (alternative-fossil) fuels in IC engines.

Other rersearch interests include CFD development in general applications, numerical simulations of fluid flow and evaporation processes associated with droplets and sprays, and Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) systems - a typical application of which is 3D rotating-cavities of gas-turbine engines.
