Mohamed A. El-Sharkawi received his PhD in electrical engineering from the University of British Columbia in 1980 and joined the University of Washington as a faculty member the same year. He authored more than 250 technical papers and research monographs during his career, including four textbooks in electric energy, electric drives, electric safety, and wind energy, and held multiple licensed patents in the areas of wind energy, dynamic VAR management, and minimum arc sequential circuit breaker.

Professor El-Sharkawi founded and chaired the IEEE Power and Energy Society's subcommittee on renewable energy machines and systems. He is the founder and cofounder of several international conferences and the founding chairman of numerous IEEE task forces, working groups, and subcommittees. He received several educational, service, and research awards, among them are the Outstanding Educator Award for IEEE Western Region in 2014 and the International Fellow Award 2015-2017. Dr. El-Sharkawi was a Fellow of IEEE, a professor of Electrical Engineering, and held a professorship in the Clean Energy Institute.

Dr. El-Sharkawi was emeritus professor at the time he passed away on October 24, 2018.

Mark J. Kaiser is a research professor at the Center for Energy Studies at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, where he has worked since 2001. His research interests cover all aspects of the energy industry, notably the oil, gas, electricity, and refining sectors, offshore development, cost estimation, economic valuation, and infrastructure modeling. He has authored over 300 academic publications along with numerous reports and trade articles, has secured grants of several million dollars over his career, and currently serves on the editorial boards of several energy journals. He was named Marathon Professor of Energy Policy in 2017.

In 1991, Dr. Kaiser obtained his PhD from Purdue University, acquired a wife, and started a new job, trying to make a living and doing the best he can. In the first decade of his career, he worked on various applied power projects such as energy efficiency verification, load forecasting and tariff design, electrohydrodynamic simulations,
transformer and power cable design, and small-scale renewable energy developments (solar PV, solar thermal, and wind). He also spent a lot of time during this period solving problems in convex geometry, geometric optimization, and computational metrology.

Professor Kaiser is the author of five research monographs on the offshore oil and gas, wind, drilling, decommissioning and service industries published by Springer and Elsevier, the 6th edition of Petroleum Refining: Technology, Economics and Markets with A. de Klerk (CRC Press, 2020), and the 9th edition of Pipeline Rules of Thumb Handbook with E.W. McAlister (Elsevier, 2023). He occasionally consults and serves as a technical expert for government agencies and companies.agencies and companies. He earned his doctoral degree from Purdue University in 1991.

Mohamed A. El-Sharkawi 於 1980 年取得 University of British Columbia 電機工程博士學位，並於同年加入 University of Washington 擔任教職。在其職業生涯中，他撰寫了 250 多篇技術論文與研究專著，其中包括四本分別探討電能、電力驅動、電氣安全與風能的教科書；此外，他在風能、動態 VAR 管理及最小電弧串聯斷路器等領域擁有多項已取得授權的專利。

El-Sharkawi 教授創立並主持 IEEE Power and Energy Society 的再生能源機器與系統小組委員會。他是多個國際會議的創辦人或共同創辦人，也是眾多 IEEE 專案小組、工作小組與小組委員會的創始主席。他曾獲得多項教育、服務與研究獎項，其中包括 2014 年 IEEE Western Region 傑出教育家獎，以及 2015–2017 年 International Fellow Award。El-Sharkawi 博士是 IEEE Fellow、電機工程教授，並擔任 Clean Energy Institute 的教授。

El-Sharkawi 博士於 2018 年 10 月 24 日逝世時，為榮譽教授。

Mark J. Kaiser 是 Louisiana State University 巴頓魯治校區能源研究中心的研究教授，自 2001 年起任職於該校。他的研究興趣涵蓋能源產業的各個面向，尤其包括石油、天然氣、電力與煉油產業、離岸開發、成本估算、經濟價值評估及基礎設施建模。他已發表超過 300 篇學術出版品，以及大量報告與產業文章；在其職業生涯中取得數百萬美元的研究經費，目前並擔任多本能源期刊的編輯委員。他於 2017 年獲聘為 Marathon Professor of Energy Policy。

Kaiser 博士於 1991 年取得 Purdue University 博士學位、成家並開始新工作，努力謀生並盡己所能。在職業生涯的最初十年，他參與了各種應用電力專案，例如能源效率驗證、負載預測與電價設計、電流體動力學模擬、變壓器與電力電纜設計，以及小型再生能源開發（太陽能光電、太陽熱能與風能）。在此期間，他也投入大量時間解決凸幾何、幾何最佳化與計算計量學方面的問題。
