Karem Elsayed Elfeky (male, born November 1989) holds a PhD in Energy and Power Engineering and currently serves as an Associate Professor. He has been recognized as a national-level young talent.

His research primarily focuses on heat transfer enhancement and fluid flow mechanisms and their engineering applications, including thermal energy storage systems, hybrid hydrogen production, electric vehicle (EV) battery thermal management, data center cooling technologies, and optimization methods, machine learning, and ensemble learning for advanced energy systems.

He has served as a principal investigator or core researcher in eight funded projects, including key projects supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and China’s “High-End Foreign Expert Introduction Program” under the Ministry of Science and Technology.

Dr. Elfeky has published 46 peer-reviewed journal and conference papers in the fields of thermal energy storage, lithium-ion battery thermal management, data center cooling, and hydrogen production and storage technologies. Many of these works have appeared in leading international energy journals such as Applied Energy and Energy Conversion and Management, and have been presented at major international conferences including the International Conference on Applied Energy (ICAE), PRES, and the Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems (SDWES).

He has filed five national invention patents, two of which have been granted.

Dr. Elfeky is a member of the editorial board of the International Journal of Energy and Power Engineering and serves as a guest editor for Frontiers in Batteries and Electrochemistry. He has also acted as a session chair at the PRES International Conference on Renewable Energy and Sustainable Development. In addition, he serves as a reviewer for several leading international journals and conferences, including Applied Energy, Solar Energy, Renewable Energy, and Energy.
