“We need to bring the solution
from the top to the bottom,” says Dincer,
adding that the key aspects of the meeting
will focus in on seven main pillars: better
efficiency, better cost effectiveness, better
use of resources, better design, better environment,
better sustainability and better
energy security.
“We need to change the priorities and
the process,” says Dincer, adding that the
key of the conference will be discussing
how to cure the problem. “We can’t continue
with the wy we’re going now. We have
to make changes.”
Dincer received his BSc in
Mechanical Engineering at
Selcuk University in Konya, Turkey in 1987 followed by
his MSc at Istanbul Technical
University in 1991 and finally
his PhD in Mechanical
Engineering at Istanbul
Technical University in 1993.
His research areas include
hydrogen and fuel cell systems,
renewable energies,
energy and exergy, energy
conversion and management,
heat and mass transfer, thermodynamics,
drying, refrigeration
and thermal energy storage.
Dincer is also involved in
many international publications
including editor-in-chief
of the International Journal of
Energy Research in the UK,
editorial board member of the International
Journal of Green Energy in the USA, editorial
board member of the International
Journal of Energy, Environment and
Economics in the USA and more.
Dincer has also received many honours
and awards over the years for his work
including the 2005 Research Excellence
Award in Ontario, the Premier’s Research
Excellence Award in Ontario in 2004, the
Distinguished Researcher Award in 2003
and the Fellow of the World
Innovation Foundation honour
in the UK, as well as many
school honours. He has also published
and contributed to many
books journals.
The conference is being held in
Istanbul, Turkey from July 6 to 10.
Dincer says he can’t understand
why it has taken so long to get the
message across when global
warming has been an issue since
before the ‘70s, adding that it’s all
because of people’s lifestyle and ignorance.
“We need to start thinking about everybody
else instead of ourselves,” says
Dincer. “We need to think about future
generations and about the future of the
world. It is the time we should start caring
about other people, this world, this universe
and start taking action. It is the time
to take responsibility.”
