He is a deputy editor of Combustion and Flame and a member of the editorial advisory boards of Combustion Science and Technology, Progress in Energy and Combustion Science and Archivium Combustionis.
	Chung K. Law (edit) (cklawprinceton.edu) Princeton University	Professor Law received his B.Sc from University of Alberta in 1968, his M.A.Sc from University of Toronto in 1970 and his PhD from University of California at San Diego in 1973. In 1988 he received Robert H. Goddard Chair in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Princeton University. His primary research focus is on the fundamentals of combustion, with applications in propulsion, energy and environmental issues. Scientific disciplines which are of direct interest are chemical kinetics, fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, and high-temperature gasdynamics.
