João Lameu da Silva Júnior holds Ph.D. and M.Sc. degrees in Chemical Engineering School from the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil. He is currently an adjunct professor in Biomedical Engineering at the Federal University of ABC (UFABC) in the Center for Engineering, Modeling and Applied Social Sciences (CECS). Since 2010, he has worked with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) by studying multiphase flows and microfluidics mostly applied to chemical processing. Since 2015, he collaborated in research project focusing the biodiesel synthesis, resulting in significant contributions to the field, including 17 papers about biodiesel synthesis in microfluidic devices, 3 book chapters and the edition of a complete book about process intensification and microfluidics. Currently, his topics of interest include the use of CFD in the fields of biomedical and chemical processing engineering. The areas of interest include process intensification, microfluidics, thermodynamics, modeling and simulation of multiphysics-coupled problems, and the design and optimization of devices applied to chemical and biomedical fields.
