**About the Editors**

**Heike Lorenz** studied Chemistry at Freiberg University of Mining and Technology and received her Ph.D. from Otto von Guericke University of Magdeburg. After research periods at the Otto von Guericke University and the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems in Magdeburg she obtained her habilitation with a thesis on heterogeneous processes on the example of combustion of solids and crystallization from solution. Since 1998 she is senior researcher at the mentioned Max Planck Institute in Magdeburg and leads a crystallization research team. She was visiting scientist at the International Flame Research Foundation, Ijmuiden/The Netherlands and invited lecturer at Rouen University. Since 2010 she is Adjunct Professor (apl. Prof.) at Otto von Guericke University. Heike Lorenz authored or co-authored more than 160 papers, 10 book contributions, and has edited 2 international conference books. She is a member of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering's (EFCE) Working Party on Crystallization and the Crystallization Board of DECHEMA/VDI-GVC's ProcessNet in Germany. Her research interests include crystallization for separation and product design, process monitoring and purification of fine chemicals, large-scale industrial and natural products. Since 2019 she is a member of the Editorial Board of *Crystals* and Editor-in-Chief of its *Industrial Crystallization* Section.

**Erik Temmel** studied chemical process engineering at the Otto von Guericke University and received his Ph.D. for research on continuous crystallization at the Max Planck Institute in Magdeburg. After several post-doctoral fellowships, e.g. at DSM (Switzerland), he is now leading the R&D for crystallization at Sulzer Chemtech Ltd (Switzerland).
