Prof. Thierry Poinsot, Co-Editor of Combustion and Flame, delivers the Hottel Lecture at the 36th International Symposium on Combustion in Seoul, Korea
Beginning 1 October 2016, Thierry Poinsot, Institut de Mécanique des Fluides de Toulouse, France, will vacate his role of Associate Editor and launch his six-year term as the Co-Editor for The Combustion Institute journal, Combustion and Flame. Prof. Poinsot succeeds Philippe Dagaut, CNRS-INSIS, ICARE, France, who served as Co-Editor since 2010. Tiziano Faravelli, Politecnico di Milano, Italy, will begin his six-year term as Associate Editor on the same date.
Prof. Poinsot holds positions at institutions in France and the United States. He is a Research Director of the Institut de Mécanique des Fluides de Toulouse (CNRS and Institut National Polytechnique de T oulouse), France. He is also the leader of the CFD team at CERFACS (Center for Research and Formation for Advanced Scientific Computation), France. A worldwide consultant in great demand, he also spends most summers at the Center for Turbulence Research at Stanford University, United States.
Tiziano Faravelli holds the position of Professor in The Chemistry, Material and Chemical Engineering Department “Giulio Natta” (CMIC), Politecnico di Milano, Italy. Prof. Faravelli has more than twenty years of experience in research areas related to combustion, including numerical modeling of reactive flows, chemical reaction engineering of complex systems, and pollutant formation from combustion processes. Since 2008, he has served as Associate Editor for the Proceedings of The Combustion Institute.
Although Prof. Dagaut has stepped down from his role at Combustion and Flame, he has taken on the role of Vice President (President-Elect) of The Combustion Institute. His six-year term as Co-Editor advanced the journal as a critical scientific source for combustion research. As a previous Associate Editor, Prof. Poinsot is well-positioned to maintain the highest standards and impact factor within the energy journals.
Changes are also on the horizon for Combustion and Flame’s editorial board. On 1 January 2017, six board members will retire from their terms of service, succeeded by six new members who will add their combustion expertise to the 18-member board. Combustion and Flame publishes high quality work from experimental, theoretical, and computational investigations on the fundamentals of combustion phenomena and closely allied matters.
