Energy Systems Efficiency

Dr. Victor Wang is an Assistant Professor in the Engineering Cluster with Singapore Institute of Technology. Victor specializes in Aerodynamic analysis for both aircraft and aero-engines design. He has held various administrative duties in the aerospace related degrees in SIT and is currently the Deputy Program Director for Aircraft Systems Engineering. He received his B.Eng. and Ph.D. degree in Aeronautical Engineering from Loughborough University, UK, in 2008 and 2012 respectively. His research interests are in the areas of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods and modelling, mesh generation, turbulence modelling, and application of CFD into external flow over bluff bodies, internal flows, Combustion, Two-phase flows and more recently into Fluid Structure Interaction. Victor is also a Member of the Royal Aeronautical Society.

Dr. Ang obtained her Doctor of Philosophy from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Her research interests include machine learning and data science, computer simulations, environmental science, and cooling technology. She has used data analytics and machine learning algorithms to make predictions or recommendations based on engineering data.

Mr. Steven Huang is currently a Senior Research Fellow in the Energy Efficiency Technology Centre in SIT. He serves as a SCEM-EEOA Committee Member and is recognised as a subject-matter expert in utilities and energy systems.

Dr Swapnil Dubey is currently working as an Assistant Professor at the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT), Singapore. Before joining SIT, he was working as a Principal Research Fellow and Team Leader at the Energy Research Institute at NTU (ERI@N), Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. 

Dr Dubey is a mechanical engineer and received his PhD and Master’s degree from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, India. He has 14+ years of experience in smart and sustainable technologies, building cooling and air distribution, building automation and control, net-zero and positive energy buildings, energy simulation and modelling, solar photovoltaic and thermal energy storage. 

Dr Dubey has devoted significant research effort to address issues arising from rapid urbanisation and high-density urban living, which include cooling technologies, indoor environmental quality, urban sustainability, and microclimate. He has been involved in developing new intelligent building automation and control systems based on Model-Predictive Control (MPC) principles that brings predictive intelligence to modern buildings, allowing high level of energy efficiency and occupant well-being. The research received international recognition and led to innovations and commercial deployment in high profile green building projects in Singapore. 

Dr Dubey has published over 80 peer-reviewed research papers, filed 6 patents, and published 2 books. He is a Singapore Certified Energy Manager (SCEM), a Green Mark Accredited Professional (GMAP), and a Full Member of ASHRAE, with a strong background in developing partnerships, digitalisation and decarbonisation strategies, consultancy projects, technology innovation, commercialisation and industry partnerships. 

At SIT, Dr Dubey has also been involved in teaching undergraduate and post-graduate students on topics Air-conditioning and Mechanical Ventilation, Automation and Control in Buildings, District cooling system, Fluid Mechanics, Data Centre Cooling, as well as short-terms certification courses for working adults to upskill their knowledge.

Dr. An Hui is an Assistant Professor in the Engineering Cluster with Singapore Institute of Technology. He specializes in Computer Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation and experimental studies for internal combustion engines. He received his B.Eng. and Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from National University of Singapore (NUS), in 2010 and 2013, respectively. His research interests are in the areas of HVAC, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, CFD, water research, fire engineering, internal combustion engine, renewable energy, biofuels and etc

Ms Chen Yihang is currently an Energy Specialist in Energy Efficiency Technology Centre in SIT, focusing on energy audits for industrial systems.

Dr. Lock is a Professor (Engineering) at the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) and the Head of its Energy Efficiency Technology Centre. He plays an active role in energy efficiency and sustainability, being the Chairman of Accreditation Committee for Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) and the Co-Chair of Steering Committee of Singapore Certified Energy Managers (SCEM) Scheme. He is an Accredited Tier Designer awarded by the Uptime Institute. He is a specialist consulting engineer in the areas of mission-critical electrical design, power quality, EMC, and safety. He conducted many power failure investigations of data centres.

Professor Lock has a unique blend of practicing and academic experience acquired through a career which is equally split between the industry and the academia. He received both his B.Sc. (1975) and Ph.D. (1979) degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Strathclyde, UK. He was a faculty at the Department of Electrical Engineering, National University of Singapore for 17 years when he left to set up his consulting practice in 1997. He returned to the academia as a professor at SIT in 2016 after 20 years in the industry.

He is a registered Professional Engineer (Electrical) and served as a Board Member of the Professional Engineers Board, Singapore for 14 years. He is a Fellow of Academy of Engineering Singapore and an Honorary Fellow of the ASEAN Federation of Engineering Organizations.

He is the co-Laureate of the 2021 WFEO Medal for Excellence in Engineering Education awarded by the World Federation of Engineering Organisations. He received the Public Service Medal (2015) and the Public Service Star (2020).
