<p>Born in 1949, Pierre Besse is a civil engineer, a graduate of the Ecole Centrale Paris. His career began in 1974, when he joined the “Groupe Menard” as Geotechnical Engineer and Site Manager. He joined Bureau Veritas in 1976, in the construction business in the South of France. From 1983 to 1995, he occupied the functions of engineer in the Ocean Technology Department at Head Office, and became Deputy Manager , in charge of certification of offshore development projects, and of the technological development. From 1996 to 2001, he was Manager of the R&amp;D Department of Bureau Veritas, and became in 2001 Research and Development Director and Head of the Research Department of the Marine Division. During this time, he has been member of the IACS and of the IMO/MSC working groups on Formal Safety Assessment  (FSA). He has been member of the ISSC Technical Committee on “Design principle and criteria”.</p> <p>From the early nineties, he has been member of the “Research &amp; Development Strategic Planning Group” ( RDSPG) of the Maritime Industries Forum (MIF). He has also chaired the Support Group of the European Technology Platform WATERBORNE.<br /><br /></p>

<p>Prof. Krzysztof Warmuzinski graduated from the Silesian University of Technology in 1970, specializing in chemical engineering. His principal research areas have included multicomponent diffusion, interfacial phenomena during gas-liquid mass transfer and, more recently, pressure swing adsorption, membrane separation and chemical reactor engineering. In 1982-1983 he spent a year as a research fellow at Birmingham University, UK, working on Marangoni convection accompanying the absorption of carbon dioxide. He also spent some time in the USA (SUNY at Buffalo and the University of Washington in Seattle), Spain (Universidad Complutense de Madrid) and Japan (Kyushu University and Waseda University).<br /><br />For almost two decades Prof. Warmuzinski has been active in a number of European and international initiatives aimed at curbing greenhouse gas emissions, including the IEA Greenhouse Gas R&amp;D Programme and the European Technology Platform for Zero Emission Fossil Fuel Power Plants. He co-authored the IPCC Special Report on Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage, and is a European Commission evaluator, providing expertise in the assessment of the EU Framework Programme proposals.<br /><br />In 2003 he became director of the Institute of Chemical Engineering, Polish Academy of Sciences, and has since initiated several projects dealing with the mitigation of the environmental impact of energy production.</p>

<p>Fellow of the ENS in Fontenay aux Roses, Doctor of the University of Paris XI (Physics) <br /> 02-07  Vice-Chairman of the Scientific Council of the University of Perpignan,<br />Since January 2006 Vice-President of the competitiveness cluster DERBI (Renewable    Energy Development for Building and Industry). <br />RESEARCH ACTIVITIES  <br />Predictive modelling, control, optimization and supervision for complex processes. <br />Application domains of this work: <br />Renewable energy, Saving energy in buildings with renewable energy, Energy storage. ITC and energy savings <br />Used methods: Fuzzy logic, Neural networks, Series, Wavelets. <br />TEACHING ACTIVITIES <br />Automatic processes: modelling and control systems, estimates and  Forecasts and detecting faults in industrial processes. <br />Director of the “master EAI” (Electronic, Automatic, Computer) <br /><br />Team ELIAUS, PROMES/CNRS laboratory, University of Perpignan <br /><br />The Eliaus team from the PROMES laboratory (CNRS) has 22 permanent staff and 15 doctoral or post-doctoral students. It includes a research line devoted to energy conservation and renewable energies in buildings, as well as to the production of electricity from renewable energy. The work of this research line falls within the Derbi Competitiveness Cluster developed by the University of Perpignan and the CNRS, with many university and industry partners involved in the “Development” of Renewable Energies for the Buildings Trade and Industry”. This research line includes, in particular, research into the predictive modeling of energy consumption based on meteorological forecasts. The second action of this research line is the short-term prediction of the regional electricity network consumption. With deregulation of the electricity systems, prediction of the electricity load for an hour, a day or a week is essential. We work also on the control of virtual power plants. The control of these power plants consists in the maximum use of electricity production from sources that do not generate greenhouse gases. The demands formulated by the networks will be assessed against the weather predictions and database of earlier consumption. Eliaus also works on the development of a tool to detect energy losses in an industrial building or a group of buildings, with the proposal of an active monitoring solution and the integration of renewable energy.</p>
