O autorze

Muhammad Sahimi is professor of chemical engineering and materials science, and the NIOC chair in petroleum engineering at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. He has been involved for over 40 years in the development of the applications of percolation theory to various fields, particularly in porous media, and heterogeneous materials.

Allen Hunt is appointed jointly in Physics and the Earth & Environmental Sciences Departments at Wright State University. He is author or editor of 5 books with 200 publications. His interests are currently in problems of environmental science with strong physics component, typically referenced to transport in disordered systems as addressed in percolation theory. An example is the ability to forecast the fate of precipitation falling on the continents, whether evapotranspiration or run-off (called the water balance). His teaching has been recognized by the Latter-Day Saints Student Association while teaching in a community college and, at Wright State, by election to Who's Who Among American Teachers.
