Andreas hsner is Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Head of the Cellular Metals Group of the affiliated research unit of the University of Aveiro, Portugal. Having obtained a Master Degree in Aeronautical Engineering at the University of Stuttgart (1997), Germany, he spent the time from 1997-2003 at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg as a research and teaching assistant to obtain his Ph.D. in Engineering Sciences.He took up his position in Aveiro in 2003. He has published over 100 research papers and organized two international conferences on the diffusion in solids and liquids.

Graeme E. Murch is Professor of Materials Engineering (Personal Chair) and Head of the Solid State Diffusion Group of the School of Engineering at the University of Newcastle, Australia. He has published over 200 research papers and is author of 3 book chapters. The work of his research group is focused among others on the development of new Monte Carlo Approaches for complex heat and mass diffusion problems in solids. Professor Much is the Editor of the periodicals Materials Science Forum and Defect and Diffusion Forum/Solid State Phenomena.

Marcelo de Lemos is Professor in the Computational Transport Phenomena Laboratory of the Aeronautical Institute of Technology ITA, Brazil. After obtaining his Master of Science Degree in 1979 on Mechanical Engineering from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, he spent four years at Purdue University, USA, to obtain his Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering. He received Postdoc Fellowships at Argonne National Laboratory, USA, 1984-1986 and Ruhr-Universit Bochum, Germany, from 1991-1992. Professor de Lemos has authored over 300 publications.
