Vali-e-Asr University of Rafsanjan | Iran

Ali Eyvazi is a researcher in the field of clean and sustainable energy systems, currently affiliated with the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Vali-e-Asr University, Iran, with expertise focused on energy, hydrogen production, exergy evaluation, geothermal systems, and economic optimization of advanced multigeneration technologies. His research portfolio centers on the development and thermoeconomic assessment of novel multigeneration energy systems that simultaneously produce power, heating, cooling, and liquid hydrogen, typically by incorporating geothermal resources, gas turbines, absorption heat transformers, ejector cooling, and compressed air energy storage technologies. Eyvazi’s works adopt a holistic performance evaluation framework that includes energy, exergy, and cost analyses, often coupled with optimization methods to identify thermodynamically efficient and economically viable configurations. His 2025 publications prominently explore geothermal-based multigeneration cycles, including innovative cascade methods for hydrogen liquefaction and combined precooling processes (e.g., Claude hydrogen liquefaction integrated with helium-based Joule-Brayton cycles). He frequently collaborates with experienced co-authors such as Mehran Ameri, Mohammad Shafiey Dehaj, and Hadi Ghaebi, contributing to multiple reputable journals in heat and mass transfer, sustainable energy systems, and process integration. His studies aim to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and improve the practicality of hydrogen as a clean fuel, particularly by lowering energy consumption during liquefaction and enhancing heat recovery mechanisms. Alongside optimization-driven geothermal designs, his research also examines hybrid systems combining gas turbines with absorption chillers, as well as environmentally safer cooling systems utilizing sulfur dioxide-based ejector technology. These contributions support the advancement of renewable energy integration and more efficient energy conversion methods for future smart grid applications. Although his scientific metrics are at an early stage — with 1 citation, h-index 1, and i10-index 0 — his rapidly growing publication record between 2024 and 2025 (more than 15 articles) highlights strong academic productivity and continued engagement with emerging topics in global decarbonization efforts. Eyvazi’s overall objective is to address global energy sustainability challenges through high-efficiency thermal systems, providing economically optimized solutions for clean hydrogen generation and multi-output energy plants that can support industrial and societal needs in the evolving renewable energy landscape.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sevil Guler | Virtual Reality Systems | Best VR Researcher Award

Erciyes University | Turkey

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sevil Guler, a distinguished faculty member in the Nursing Department of Erciyes University’s Health Sciences Faculty, is an accomplished internal medicine nursing specialist with a strong research footprint in hemodialysis care, pain management, complementary therapies, and emerging immersive technologies such as virtual reality in patient care. Holding a PhD in Internal Medicine Nursing from Erciyes University, she has progressed through academic roles since 2007—beginning as a lecturer, later serving as an assistant professor, and ultimately becoming an associate professor in 2018. Her academic contributions include over 171 peer-reviewed publications, three published books with ISBN, six completed or ongoing research projects, and impactful randomized controlled trials addressing pain, anxiety, coping mechanisms, and chronic disease support. Her citation metrics include 12 citations and an H-index of 3 in Web of Science, and 23 citations with an H-index of 2 in Scopus. She has played key roles in academic coordination, including participation in Erasmus initiatives, program committees, and the supervision of multiple undergraduate and graduate theses. Although she does not currently hold editorial board positions or formal professional memberships, her work is strengthened by significant research collaborations, most notably with Seda Şahan, producing several influential studies on hemodialysis pain, complementary therapies such as hand massage, foot reflexology, and coping interventions. Her expanding interest in virtual reality applications in nursing positions her strongly within emerging domains of immersive healthcare innovation. With no patents or consultancy projects, her academic output remains predominantly research-driven, contributing substantially to evidence-based practice and patient-centered nursing care. Her studies during and after the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrate a commitment to improving the psychosocial well-being of vulnerable patient groups, exploring anxiety, coping, and symptom management in challenging clinical environments. Her academic and professional information is publicly documented through her institutional profile on AVESIS, where her research, publications, and credentials are verifiable.
