Antônio José da Silva Neto is a Mechanical / Nuclear Engineer (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro - UFRJ, Brazil, 1983), M.Sc. in Nuclear Engineering (UFRJ, 1989), and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, with a minor in Computational Mathematics (North Carolina State University, USA, 1993). He worked as engineer/researcher for the Brazilian National Nuclear Energy Comission - CNEN (1984-1986), and as consultant/engineer for Promon Engineering (1986-1997). In 1997 he joined the faculty of Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro - UERJ, being since 2013 a Full Professor at the Polytechnic Institute. He has held different positions in scientific evaluation and administration institutions: President (2014-2017) of the Brazilian Society of Computational and Applied Mathematics - SBMAC; President (2009-2013) of the Brazilian Association of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering - ABCM; Member (2014-2016) of the Deliberative Council of the Brazilian Council for Scientific and Technological Development - CNPq; Coordination Member (2008-2016) of the Interdisciplinary Area of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel - CAPES; Municipal Secretary of Science and Technology (2010-2011) in Nova Friburgo, Rio de Janeiro; and Area Coordinator in Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering (2012 -2018) of the Carlos Chagas Filho Foundation for Research Support in the State of Rio de Janeiro (FAPERJ). He has also been the Coordinator of Projects and Technological Development (1997-2008), and the Coordinator of the Graduate Program in Computational Modelling (2005-2007) of the Polytechnic Institute (UERJ). He is the Head of the Patrícia Oliva Soares Laboratory for Experimentation and Numerical Simulation in Heat and Mass Transfer (LEMA), and of the Paulo Márcio de Mello Laboratory for Metrology and Mechanical Testing (LEMec). Since 2017 he is a Titular Member of the Brazilian National Academy of Engineering. He has published 14 books (six as editor/organizer), 61 book chapters, 143 full journal papers, and 416 full conference papers. He has supervised 20 visiting and postdoctoral fellows, and 28 doctoral and 48 masters students. His areas of interest are Mechanical Engineering, with emphasis in heat and mass transfer, and environmental modelling, and Applied and Computational Mathematics, with emphasis in numerical methods, computational intelligence and inverse problems.
