The Idalex Team
Idalex’s chief scientist, Dr. Valeriy Maisotsenko, a foremost scientist in thermodynamics, is the former director of the Thermal Physics Research Laboratory in Odessa, Ukraine. While in this capacity, Valeriy was recognized by the Communist government of the former Soviet Union as one of 11 top inventors in the USSR. This was the first time the Soviet Government ever publicly recognized any of its scientists. In 1992, Valeriy immigrated to the US and in 1999 became a U.S. citizen. Valeriy has spent his professional career challenging the conventional understanding of the laws of thermodynamics. His efforts have rewarded him with more than 125 heat-transfer and thermodynamics patents. Dr. Maisotsenko earned a doctor of science degree in technology (equivalent to a U.S. post-doctorate degree) from the Moscow Civil Engineering Institute in 1988. He obtained a candidate of science degree in technology (equivalent to a Ph.D.) from the Odessa Institute of Refrigeration Engineering in 1970; and a Graduate Engineering Degree (equivalent to a masters degree) from the Odessa Institute of Refrigeration Engineering, earned in 1963.
Leland Gillan, P.E. is a former senior engineer for Fluor Engineers and Constructors. For nearly 10 years, Lee traveled the world designing and installing heat transfer equipment ranging from cooling towers to air coolers, shell and tube, double pipe and plate heat exchangers.
