Dr Sauro Succi holds a degree in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Bologna and a PhD in Plasma Physics from the EPFL, Lausanne. Since 1995 he serves as a Director of Research at the Istituto Applicazioni Calcolo of the Italian National Research Council in Rome and also as Research Associate of the Physics Department of Harvard University and a Visiting Professor at the Institute of Applied Computational Science at the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences of Harvard University. He has published extensively on a broad range of topics in computational kinetic theory and non-equilibrium statistical physics, including thermonuclear plasmas, fluid turbulence, micro and nanofluidics, as well as quantum-relativistic flows.
It is important to register that this book in underpinned by strong pedagogical principles. This is not an arcane monograph but rather a text to get to grips with this extremely disparate topicone is confident that this book will serve very well the community of researchers who ply their trade using the Lattice Boltzmann equation. - K.
