Efstathios E. (Stathis) Michaelides, PhD, is currently the holder of W.A. (Tex) Moncrief Chair of Engineering at Texas Christian University (TCU) and also a Fellow of the Ralf Lowe Energy Institute at TCU. He is recognized as a leading scholar in the areas of multiphase flows and energy conversion, where he has authored seven monographs. He has published more than 170 journal papers and has contributed more than 250 presentations in national and international conferences. He chaired the Fourth International Conference on Multiphase Flows (New Orleans May 27 to June 1, 2001). He was awarded an honorary M.A. degree from Oxford University (1983); the ASEE Centennial Award for Exceptional Contributions to the Profession of Engineering (1993); the Lee H. Johnson award for Teaching Excellence (1995); the Senior Fulbright Fellowship (1997); the ASME Freeman Scholar award (2002); the Outstanding Researcher award at Tulane University (2003); the ASME Outstanding Service award (2007); the ASME Fluids Engineering award (2014); the ASME-FED Ninetieth Anniversary Medal (2016); and the ASME Edwin F. Church Medal for "eminent service in increasing the value, importance and attractiveness of mechanical engineering education."

Martin Sommerfeld, Dr.-Ing., studied at the Technical University of Aachen, where he received his doctorate in 1984. Thereafter, he conducted research at the Department of Aeronautical Engineering, Kyoto University, Japan, with a research fellowship obtained from the Japan Society for Promotion of Science and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. At the Institute of Fluid Mechanics of the University of Erlangen, he headed a research group on two-phase flow from 1986 to 1994 and completed his habilitation. In October 1994 he was appointed as Professor of Mechanical Process Engineering at the Martin-Luther-University of Halle-Wittenberg. In 1997 he received the DECHEMA Award 1996 for his contributions to multiphase
