G.F. Barreto received his Chemical Engineer degree from the Universidad Nacional de La Plata (UNLP), Argentina, in 1974 and his Ph.D. degree from the University of London (U.K.) in 1984. As a full professor, he has been in charge of Chemical Reaction Engineering (CRE) undergraduate courses at the Faculty of Engineering of UNLP, from 1991 to 2020, a period in which he also lectured several post-graduate courses. Presently, G.F.B. is an emeritus professor of the UNLP and is a research member of the Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET), Argentina.

C.D. Luzi obtained his Chemical Engineer degree in 2010 and his EngD degree in 2015, both from the Universidad Nacional de La Plata (UNLP), Argentina. He is an associate professor at Facultad de Ingeniería (UNLP), in Chemical Reaction Engineering (CRE) undergraduate courses, where he has developed most of his teaching career. He is also a research member of the Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET), Argentina. While focusing his research on reverse flow reactors at the outset, his current research areas of interest are the modeling and simulation of different phenomena involved in packed bed reactors, such as radial velocity distribution and axial dispersion.
