Dr. Pashchenko received his Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering with a Distinction honor from Saratov State Technical University, Russia. His PhD degree was received in Mechanical Engineering from Samara State Technical University, Russia.

He has more than twelve years of research experience broadly in the area of improving the energy efficiency of various fuel-consuming equipment. The main interest is focused on thermochemical waste-heat recuperation systems. The investigation of such systems is an example of interdisciplinary study. Therefore, his publications include the different scientific fields, such as:

• Thermodynamics;
• CFD-modeling;
• Chemical kinetics;
• Combustion;
• Heat-transfer.

He received several scholarships and awards, including the Scholarship of the President of the Russian Federation for Young Scientists and Graduate Students and the Russian Ministry of High Education and Science’s award.

His works (more than 37 papers) were mostly published in leading journals of energy engineering, including Energy Conversion and Management, Energy, Fuel, AIChE, International Journal of Heat and Mass transfer, etc.  He served as the guest editor at Catalysts journal (JCR Q2) and reviewers for 16 journals. His h-index is 21 and counting.
