Dabir S. Viswanath, Ph.D. (Univ. of Rochester), AIChE Fellow, has taught at Bucknell University, the Indian Institute of Science, Texas A & M, and the University of Missouri, Columbia, MO. He has advised over 50 graduate students, and has published over 140 peer-reviewed papers and four American Petroleum Institute monographs. He co-authored the works Data Book on the Viscosity of Liquids [Hemisphere, 1989], Liquid Viscosity [Springer, 2006], and Scientific and Technological Aspects of Terrorism and Counter Terrorism [CRC Press, II Ed. 2009]. Tushar K. Ghosh, Ph.D. (Oklahoma State Univ.) is a Professor of Nuclear Eng. at the Univ. of Missouri-Columbia. His research interests include developing sensors for chemical and biological agents, spent fuel reprocessing, and theoretical and experimental investigation of nuclear materials. He has published more than 100 journal articles, holds six patents and has authored several books, including: Indoor Air: Quality and Control, Prentice Hall, 1993; Viscosity of Liquids: Theory, Estimation, Experiment, and Data, Springer, 2006; and Energy Resources and Systems: Vol. 2- Renewable Energy Sources, Springer, 2011.  Veera Mallu Boddu, Ph.D. (Univ. of Missouri), AIChE Fellow, is the Research Leader for the Plant Polymer Research Unit, National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research, USDA in Peoria, IL. Prior to joining the USDA, he was a Senior Scientist with the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC-CERL) in Champaign, IL, and has published extensively on the thermophysical properties of high-energy explosives and insensitive munitions, as well as environmental technologies. He has co-edited two books: Energetic Materials: Thermophysical Properties, Predictions, and Experimental Measurements, CRC Press, 2010; and Energetic Materials: From Cradle to Grave, Springer, 2017.
