Ciprian Foias is an Emeritus Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Indiana University at Bloomington and Professor of Mathematics at Texas A & M University at College Station. He has held numerous visiting professorships, including those at Virje University (Netherlands), Israel Institute of Technology, University of California at San Diego, Université Paris-Sud, and the Collège de France. In 1995, he was awarded the Norbert Wiener prize by the American Mathematical Society. Oscar P. Manley works as a consultant and independent researcher on the foundations of turbulent flows. He has acted as head of the U.S. Department of Energy's Engineering Research Program and as the Program Manager for the Department of Energy's research on magnetic fusion theory. Dr. Manley has held visiting professorships at the Université Paris-Sud and Indiana University. Ricardo Rosa is a Professor of Mathematics at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. He has also held positions as Visiting Researcher at the Institute for Scientific Computing and Applied Mathematics at Indiana University and as Visiting Professor at the Université Paris-Sud in Orsay, France. Roger Temam is a Professor of Mathematics at the Université Paris-Sud and Senior Scientist at the Institute for Scientific Computing and Applied Mathematics at Indiana University. He has been awarded an Honorary Professorship at Fudan University (Shanghai), the French Academy of Sciences Grand Prix Alexandre Joannidès, and the Seymour Cray Prize in Numerical Simulation. Professor Temam has authored or coauthored nine books and published more than 260 articles in international refereed journals. His current research interests in fluid mechanics are in the areas of control of turbulence, boundary layer theory, and geophysical fluid dynamics.
