Meet Tilek Aberra, PhD, A.AIRAH, M.ASHRAE — Technology Manager at Hussmann Oceania and one of the leading minds behind the energy-efficient refrigeration systems shaping the future of food retail.
From his early fascination with heat exchangers during his university days to now developing next-gen commercial refrigeration solutions, Tilek has always believed in the power of engineering to transform lives — and our planet. His “cool skills” go beyond technical know-how. With deep expertise in computational fluid dynamics (CFD), system design, and energy optimisation, Tilek leads the charge in transitioning to natural refrigerants like CO₂ and R290. His focus? Creating sustainable solutions that meet tomorrow’s regulations — today.
For Tilek, #CoolSkills are about blending advanced engineering with real-world practicality to reduce emissions and increase efficiency — while mentoring the next generation of refrigeration engineers.
“To me, cool skills mean using refrigeration as core technical excellence to drive innovation in sustainability, compliance, and smarter energy use across a rapidly changing world.”
With over 25 years of experience, Tilek is more than an expert — he’s a changemaker, shaping the next chapter of the cold chain with purpose, precision, and passion.
