**About the Editors**

#### **Eduardo Vivaldo-Lima**

Professor Vivaldo-Lima is Full Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering of the Faculty of Chemistry of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). He is member of the Mexican National Researchers System with the highest level (3). He is also external academic member of Institute for Polymer Research of the University of Waterloo.

His research work in polymer science and engineering, with emphasis on polymer reaction engineering, focuses on controlled radical polymerization, polymerizations in compressed fluids, the production of polymer networks, and the development of biorefining processes from lignocellulosic biomasses. He is a member of the editorial board of {Journal of Macromolecular Science}, {Part A: Pure and Applied Chemistry}, and {Processes}.

He has received several awards, including the "2010 Heberto Castillo Award", UNAM's 2013 "National University Award", and the 2014 "Ing. Estanislao Ram´ırez Ruiz"IMIQ's Award, to name a few.

#### **Yousef Mohammadi**

Dr. Yousef Mohammadi obtained a PhD from Amirkabir University of Technology-Tehran Polytechnic in Biomedical Engineering and Biomaterials in 2007. He worked for the Petrochemical Research and Technology Company (NPC-rt) in Tehran, Iran, for 14 years. He presently works for the Centre for Advanced Macromolecular Design (CAMD), School of Chemical Engineering of the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia.

He has been a senior researcher and a technical project manager in areas such as chemical and polymer engineering, as well as the production of nanofibrous materials.

As a data scientist, he has been able to combine knowledge of high-performance programming, deterministic/stochastic mathematical algorithms/tools and computational intelligence (AI, Machine Learning and Data Mining) to design/develop first-principle and/or data-driven modelers and optimizers capable of precisely pre-processing, processing and post-processing big and complex datasets.
