Akila Sridhar
Editor, BMC Series at Springer Nature
Akila is a molecular biologist by training and after more than eleven years as a researcher, she joined the BMC Series as an Editor in September 2018. She enjoys writing and enjoys editing science, be in manuscripts or grants. After being boxed in basic research for several years, she is just discovering the world of clinical and physical sciences and is utterly fascinated by it.
Highlights of the BMC Series: April 2019
We have had a fantastic month for publications this April at the BMC Series with over 1400 publications across the Series Journals. Below are some of the highlights from articles published in various BMC Series Journals in April 2019.
BMC Chemical Engineering: Energy systems engineering – a guided tour
A recent news highlight reported the UK running on clean energy for over 100 hours is an example of one of many attempts to steer away from coal-based energy with potentially huge environmental impacts. Energy efficiency, reduction of carbon footprint and the impact on the environment has forced us to think of better ways to engineer systems that allow for more cost-effective and sustainable forms of energy. This emerging field of engineering is called energy engineering or energy systems engineering.
In a recent commentary published in BMC Chemical Engineering, authors from Texas A&M University, present the current state of engineered tools in energy generation. With an aim in the field to optimize energy production to be more cost-effective, environment-friendly and easily operational, the task ahead to design such mouldable systems is becoming increasingly challenging.
