Meet the editors

Dr. Guozhao Ji majored in chemical engineering and received his PhD degree in 2014 at the University of Queensland, Australia; his MS and BS in mechanical engineering at Northeastern University, People's Republic of China, in 2010 and 2008, respectively. He currently works in the School of Environmental Science and Technology at Dalian University of Technology in China as an Associate Professor. His research interests are com-

putational fluid dynamic application in chemical engineering processes, modelling of gas transport in microporous material, gas separation by inorganic membranes, high temperature CO2 capture, solid waste gasification, and kinetic modelling of thermochemical conversions. He has authored over 50 refereed journal publications and one book chapter.

Prof. Zhu is an experienced mathematician with a bachground in thermodynamics and continuum mechanics. He has 20 years of teaching experience in international universities and more than 30 years of research experience in Singapore, the UK, the US, and China. He has worked successfully in several different research areas, such as solid and fluid mechanics, materials science, image analysis, computational biology, and computational

fluid dynamics. He also possesses particular skills for mathematical modeling and numerical simulation and was awarded "One Hundred Excellent Young Scientists" by the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1997. He is Editor-in-Chief of the journal "Global Journal of Engineering Sciences."
