He is the editor of *Knowledge Decision Support Systems in Finance* and serves on the technical program committees of several high-ranked international conferences of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). He has contributed to several standardization efforts of the IEEE, including the 802.16m standards and the 3GPP LTE standards. Prof. Sen has been listed among the top 2% of scientists in the world by Stanford University for the last four consecutive years (2019–2022).

Dr. Mingqiang Yi has been CEO of Microfluidic Foundry since 2011. He also served as the principal investigator for a project funded by the National Health Institute in 2014–2015. From 2009 to 2011, Dr. Yi was the process engineering manager for Alphabet Energy, Inc., where he was responsible for the development of silicon nanowire-based thermoelectric modules. From 2005 to 2008, he was the project leader for RheoSense,

Inc., where he was responsible for the development of microfluidic chip-based viscometers. From 2001 to 2002, Dr. Yi was a MEMS scientist at Los Gatos Research, Inc., responsible for the development of high-pressure electrokinetic micropumps. From 2002 to 2005, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, Berkeley, USA, where he developed microfluidic sensors for detecting DNA hybridization and enzymatic reaction products as well as for protein analysis. Dr. Yi obtained his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania, USA, in 2001, and a BEng and MEng from Tsinghua University in 1994 and 1997, respectively. He has a broad background in micro/nanotechnology, with specific training and expertise in microfluidics.

Fenglei Niu is a pioneering researcher in nuclear thermal hydraulics. He is former dean and professor of the School of Nuclear Science and Engineering, North China Electric Power University and a member of the American Nuclear Society. Dr. Nie has multiple registered patents to his credit.

Dr. Hao Wu is an assistant professor at the School of Nuclear Science and Engineering, North China Electric Power University, Beijing, China. He received his Ph.D. from Tsinghua University, China. He worked for the Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology of Tsinghua University as a postdoctoral researcher. He has thirty publications to his credit, including fourteen research articles as the first author in international journals such as *Annals of* 

*Nuclear Energy, International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer,* and *Chemical Engineering Science*. His research interests are thermal hydraulics in advanced nuclear reactors, including solid-phase oxygen control, numerical oxygen mass and heat transfer simulations in the lead–bismuth eutectic, deep learning applications in nuclear engineering, particle-scale thermal radiation and continuum model in the pebble-bed reactor and CFD-DEM modeling in dense fluid-particle dynamics.
