Professor Janicka commands a huge international reputation in the field of turbulent reacting flows. His work on modeling and numerical simulation using advanced methods such as Large Eddy Simulations is leading in many areas of turbulent combustion. His laser diagnostics laboratory houses capabilities that are paralleled by a only a handful of laboratories worldwide. His research interests cover a broad field from gaseous to liquid fuels and from simple burners to industrial installations.

Keynote Speaker
Professor John Mantzaras
Paul Scherrer Institut
Combustion Research
CH-5232 Villigen PSI
Switzerland

Professor Mantzaras is leading international expert in micro-combustion. He is now head of the Combustion Fundamentals Group of the Combustion Research laboratory of PSI and PD at ETHZ. His interests are the numerical modeling of the hetero/homogeneous chemical processes with multidimensional CFD codes, the investigation of homogeneous ignition, the modeling of turbulent CST, and the design of experiments in optically-accessible, laboratory-scale test-rigs for the validation of hetero/homogeneous chemical reaction schemes.

Invited Review
Dr Andreas Kronenburg
Reader in Combustion
Department of Mechanical Engineering,
Imperial College, London
UK

Dr Kronenburg�s expertise lies in the mathematical modelling of turbulent combustion. Key research topics of interest are the Conditional Moment Closure method for turbulent reacting flow, stochastic methods, turbulent flow predictions (DNS, LES and RANS methods), chemical kinetics, the modelling of reacting flows in internal combustion engines and growth and control of nanoparticles.

Topical Review
Professor Behdad Moghtaderi
Chemical Engineering,
The University of Newcastle
Australia

The underlying theme of Prof Moghtaderi's research is *Thermo-Fluid Engineering* encompassing applications in the general field of energy and the environment. The focus of his research is development of technologies suitable for direct/indirect minimisation of greenhouse emissions, particularly in: (1) renewable energy systems, e.g. biomass combustion, gasification and co-firing, as well as geothermal power; (2) advanced clean coal technologies, e.g. oxy-fuel and chemical looping combustion; (3) hydrogen powered micro-energy systems with an emphasis on microfluidics and micro-fabrication; and (4) energy efficiency, e.g. energy efficiency in buildings, energy efficient desalination, etc).
