Author Biography
Rui Wu is an Associate Professor of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. He serves as the deputy director of Institute of Thermophysics Engineering. He earned his PhD degree from Chongqing University in 2012. In 2013, he became an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow. He worked in the Chair of Thermal Process at Otto-von-Guericke University from 2014 to 2015. His research interests include two-phase transport in porous media and interfacial phenomena.
Marc Prat is CNRS Senior scientist at the Fluid Mechanics Institut in Toulouse, France. He is Associate Editor to the Journal of Porous Media, author or co-author of more than 150 articles in scientific archival journals. He has been the supervisor or co-supervisor of more than 50 PhD students and P.I. in many projects funded by various industrial partners, national or international agencies. His main research interest is the study of transport phenomena in porous media in relation with engineering applications, with a special interest on the situations involving phase change phenomena.
