Yerbol has served as a member of the National Scientific Council for the Ministry of Education and Science of KZ between 2021 to 2024.
Mr. Alexander Kuhn
Institute for Energy Systems & Technology, Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany;
Alexander Kuhn holds a double Bachelor's degree in Mechanical and Process Engineering from TU Darmstadt and Virginia Tech (2015–2018), obtained through a one-year study abroad program. He completed his Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on energy technology at TU Darmstadt in 2021. Since July 2021, he has been pursuing his PhD at the Institute for Energy Systems and Technology at TU Darmstadt. His research focuses on retrofitting existing circulating fluidized bed (CFB) power plants for the use of waste-derived fuels and the integration of CO₂ capture technologies. He previously led the research project Rebecca, which was successfully completed in December 2024.
Mr. Leo Rummel
Department of Energy Technology, Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia;
Leo Rummel earned a bachelor’s degree in Thermal Engineering from Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) in 2008, followed by a master's degree in Thermal Power Engineering, which he completed with honors in 2010. In 2013, he started pursuing his PhD at the Department of Energy Technology at TalTech. He has published scientific articles on biomass combustion in bubbling fluidized bed and grate boilers, fuel consumption rates, and ash composition transformations during load cycling. His current research focuses on the effects of power plant load cycling on fuel consumption and emissions.
