deposition (ALD) technique. He has also been involved in a number of projects including Hydrogen Storage, Hydrogen Generation, Thin Films and Nanotechnology, Drug Delivery, Heat Transfer, Water Purification Membrane and Computational modelling and simulation. He has published numerous journal articles and conference such as Journal of Electrochemical Energy Reviews, Journal of Energy Storage, Journal of Water Process Engineering, International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, Journal of Molecular Liquids, ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress etc. He has serves as reviewer for journals such as Elsevier, Springer, etc. He is currently the Head of the ALD and innovation sub-research group and the Lead experimentalist at the ALD facility.

Tien-Chien Jen is a full professor and the Head of Department, Mechanical Engineering, University of Johannesburg. Before then, Prof Jen was a faculty member at University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. Prof Jen received his Ph.D. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from UCLA, specializing in thermal aspects of grinding. He has received several competitive grants for his research, including those from the US National Science Foundation, the US Department of Energy and the EPA. He is also the Director of Manufacturing Research Centre of the University of Johannesburg. Meanwhile, SA National Research Foundation has awarded Prof Jen a NNEP grant (National Nano Equipment Program) worth of USD 1.5 million to acquire two state-of-the-art Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) tools to be housed in a 220m2 10000 level (ISO 7) clean room facility for ultra-thin film coating. These two ALD Research facility will be the first in South Africa and possibly the first in Africa continent. He has made extensive contributions to the field of mechanical engineering, specifically in the area of machining processes, atomic layer deposition, cold gas dynamics spraying, fuel cells and hydrogen technology, batteries, and material processing. He has published several journals articles, books and book chapters in these spaces in reputable journals, and presented in several conferences.
