**Meet the editors**

Prof. S M Sohel Murshed was born in Bangladesh and is a professor at the University of Lisbon, Portugal. He obtained his PhD degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Nanyang Technological University of Singapore in 2007. Previously he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at universities in Singapore and the USA. He has so far authored/coauthored 5 books, 19 book chapters,

and over 100 papers in leading international journals and conferences. He has Google Scholar citations of 3244 with h-index of 22, and several of his papers have been classified as Highly Cited Papers by ISI Web of Science. He is a Portugal national delegate to the management committee of a European COST action on nanofluids and also serves as a group leader of the Action. He is an editor of Journal of Nanofluids since 2012 and editorial board member of few other international journals. His main research interests include nanofluids, ionanofluids, micro- and nanoscale heat transfer, heat exchangers, microfluidics, advanced energy, and cooling technologies.

Prof. Manuel Matos Lopes was born in Lisbon and is a professor at the University of Lisbon, Portugal. He obtained his degree in Chemical Engineering from the IST-Technical University of Lisbon, in 1981, and his PhD degree in Physical Chemistry from the University of Lisbon, in 1992. He was a research assistant at the IPST, University of Maryland, USA, and a postdoctoral fellow

at the Erlangen University and at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Mainz, Germany. He has authored 30 publications in scientific journals, conference proceedings, and book chapters and presented many communications. He is also involved in several educational projects and science outreach. His main research interests are the experimental study of thermophysical properties of fluids and materials and their implications in the molecular and technological aspects. Presently, he is committed with the study of ionic liquids and ionanofluids and their applications as heat transfer fluids in heat exchangers, advanced energy, and cooling technologies.
