Our Team at ICSM 2026: Sharing the Latest in Screw Machine Research in Dortmund
Earlier this month, members of our research group travelled to Dortmund, Germany, to take part in the International Conference on Screw Machines (ICSM 2026) at TU Dortmund University. Our team presented seven papers spanning simulation, experimental testing, sensing, material selection and rotor design — and caught up with colleagues from across the global screw machine community.

Abstract submissions are now open for the 15th International Conference on Compressors and Their Systems, which will take place from 13 to 15 September 2027 at City St George’s, University of London.

Members of the Centre for Compressor Technology at City St George’s, University of London, recently attended the Herrick Conferences at Purdue University, where they presented four research papers covering the design, modelling, optimisation and experimental investigation of positive displacement machines.

On 29 October 2025, Professor Ahmed Kovacevic, FREng delivered an invited lecture at the Institute of Refrigeration (IOR) TechTalk series titled “Emerging Technologies in Compressors and Their Systems.” The lecture showcased Centre’s latest research on next-generation compressor technologies, building on the work that earned him the prestigious J&E Hall International Gold Medal.

Professor Ahmed Kovacevic delivered a keynote speech at the 10th International Conference on Compressor and Refrigeration, held in Xi’an, China. His presentation, titled “Emerging Technologies for Positive Displacement Compressors and Expanders”, focused on cutting-edge developments in the field of compressor technology and their role in supporting a Net-Zero future.
