Dr. Mohammed Faghri is known around the world for his work in Computational Fluid Dynamics and for his experimental research on fluid flow and heat transfer in microscale devices. He has published over 200 articles in the journals of thermal sciences, including the ASME Journal of Heat Transfer, Numerical Heat Transfer and International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer.

Dr. Faghri is the author or editor of six books on heat exchangers, modeling of thermal processes, heat and fluid flow in microscale and nanoscale structures, heat transfer in gas turbines, modeling and simulation of turbulent heat transfer, and transport phenomena in fuel cells.  He has been on the editorial boards of four journals (Journal of Heat Transfer Research, International Journal of Heat Exchangers, Int. J. of Dynamics of Fluids, International Journal of Science and Technology and the ASME Journal of Heat Transfer).

He is the recipient of the 2004 ASME Heat Transfer Memorial Award (the most prestigious national award in the field of heat transfer), a Fellow of ASME and was selected as the Jubilee (150th Anniversary) Professor at the Chalmers University and Wenner-Gren Foundation Fellow at Lund Institute of Technology, both in Sweden.

His sponsored research has been under the auspices of NSF, NASA, the US Army, IBM and Ford Motor Company. His research interests include microfluidics experiments and Direct Simulation Monte Carlo in micro-channels and solidification and melting in low gravity. He is currently the principal investigator of a NASA research grant for 460K on Phase Change in Low and Jittering Gravity Environment and the principal investigator and the project director of 2.37 million dollars NSF research grant for five years starting 2005 on Micro-fluidic Technology and Applications.

Bengt Sundén received his M.S. in 1973, Ph.D. in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics in 1979, and docent in applied thermodynamics and fluid mechanics in 1980, all from Chalmers Universities of Technology, Goteborg, Sweden. He became Professor of Heat Transfer in 1992 at Lund University. Since 1995 he serves as the head of the Department of Energy Sciences, Lund University, Sweden.

His research topics are enhancement of heat transfer in compact heat exchangers, computational methods of convective flow and heat transfer in complex narrow geometries, combustion-related heat transfer including thermal radiation, gas turbine heat transfer (impinging jets, film cooling, ribbed ducts), evaporation and condensation in plate heat exchangers, thermal imaging techniques, PIV, and multiscale and multiphysics transport phenomena in fuel cells.

He has published more than 500 journal papers, books, and proceedings. He has also delivered many keynote and invited lectures. He has been editor of 25 books published by international publishing houses and author of two textbooks (one in Swedish, one in English).

He is involved in referee tasks for more than 40 international journals and has been active in several international and organizing committees and boards. He is also editor-in-chief for a book series, Developments in Heat Transfer (also published by WIT Press). In addition, he is active editor for four journals. He is a fellow of the ASME and a 2011 recipient of the ASME Heat Transfer Memorial Award.
