Cíntia Soares is a Full Professor at the Chemical and Food Engineering Department of Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), Florianópolis/SC, Brazil. Cíntia has a strong background in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), with several papers published in this field in well-recognized journals. Cíntia is involved with the Elsevier published Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering (JECE), Chemical Engineering Science (CES) and with the Springer Nature published Brazilian Journal of Chemical Engineering. Natan Padoin is an Adjunct Professor at the Chemical and Food Engineering Department of Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), Florianópolis/SC, Brazil. Natan has a strong background in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), with several papers published in this field in well-recognized journals. He is also involved with the Elsevier published Chemical Engineering Journal (CEJ). Simon Kuhn is a Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium. Simon is specifically interested in transport processes and reactions, with expertise centered on experimental and computational aspects of transport limitations in chemical engineering applications, and their scale-up from the micro- to production scale.

This rational approach by combining numerical and experimental techniques will support a reactor design toolbox for process intensification. Simon is involved with the Elsevier published Chemical Engineering Science journal.
