**About the Special Issue Editor**

**Andrea De Pascale** is Associate Professor of Fluid Machinery and Energy Systems at the University of Bologna, Italy. He teaches master courses on Environmental Impact of Energy Systems, Advanced Energy, Systems, and Fluid Power Systems. As a mechanical engineer, he obtained his PhD at the University of Bologna, where he is currently working at the Energy System Group of the Department of Industrial Engineering. His scientific activity deals with thermodynamics of advanced energy systems, advanced gas turbines, CHP and micro-CHP systems, power-to-gas, renewables, and waste heat recovery technologies. He is responsible for a laboratory on technologies for micro-cogeneration. Within this lab, research is currently carried out by implementing test benches and developing numerical and experimental studies on micro-generators, with special reference to the ORC technology. He has authored of more than 100 publications in international journals and congresses, and he is a referee for many scientific journals. He has been awarded the "John P. Davis Award" by the ASME in 2015 for a technical study on gas turbines integrated with ORC in off-shore application.
