**About the Editor**

**Mostafa Safdari Shadloo** has been actively engaged in the fields of (i) (aero-)hydrodynamics, turbulence and transitional boundary layers, as well as (ii) multiphase, multi-physics fluid flows and heat transfer, for the last 10 years. His expertise is mainly in theoretical and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), but he has also been active in developing validation strategies and guidelines for CFDist. He aims to develop a new generation high-order coupled algorithm for compressible/incompressible fluid flows with complex physical behaviors, in relation to industrial applications. In this framework, he uses high-performance computing (HPC), high-fidelity direct numerical simulations (DNS) and large-eddy simulations (LES) to decipher complex instabilities and flow behaviors caused mainly by multi-phase and/or turbulent flows, with heat transfer and compressibility effects.

In summary, at national, European and international levels, Dr. Shadloo has actively been the PI and main participant (MP) in numerous projects dealing with unsteady multi-physics flows, including multi-disciplinary modeling, simulation and validation, with an overall budget of more than €2 M (not all of them are listed above). The main outcomes of Dr. Shadloo's research have been published as 75 (+1 book chapter) original scientific articles in highly prestigious peer-reviewed journals and 24 proceedings presented in international peer-reviewed conferences. His citation number exceeds 2750, and to date, 2000 have an h-index of 30 and 27, respectively, based on Google Scholar and Scopus citation reports.
