Meet the editors

Nur M. S. Hassan obtained his PhD in Engineering from Central Queensland University, Australia in 2011. He holds BSc degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science and is a recognized expert in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) at Central Queensland University. Dr Hassan has wide experience in the experimental study and numerical simulation of engineering problems, particularly relating to fluid flow systems, heat trans-

fer, and renewable energy. He has published over 55 scientific articles in journals and conferences including two edited books and 7 book chapters. He is a reviewer of scientific articles of several journals and is a member of the Australasian Fluid Mechanics Society, the Australian Fluid and Thermal Engineering Society, the Mining Electrical and Mining Mechanical Society, the Australian Society of Rheology, and the Australasian Association of Engineering Education.

Sérgio António Neves Lousada is a Civil Engineer with a PhD in civil engineering and his area of knowledge is in hydraulics. He teaches at the University of Madeira, Faculty of Exact Sciences and Engineering, in the Civil Engineering course, with a major field of hydraulics, environment and water resources and secondary field of construction. Currently he is course director of the First Cycle in Civil Engineering, according to the state-

ment of the Scientific Council of the Faculty of Exact Sciences and Engineering at the University of Madeira. Since 2012, he has been researching hydraulic sciences, particularly in the areas of hydraulics, urban hydraulics and marine and fluvial construction. He has published several articles and books and has participated in events mainly in the areas of hydraulics, urban planning, and land management.
