N1 - Funding Information: RICHARD A. YETTER, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University, received his B.S. from Syracuse University, M.S. from Cornell University, M.A. and Ph.D. from Princeton University. His current research interests include micropower and propulsion systems, propellant and nanoenergetic materials combustion, high temperature/high-pressure combustion chemistry and heterogeneous combustion. His research experience also includes the development and analysis of stratified charge internal combustion engines, alternate fuels combustion, the analysis of turbulent flames with swirl stabilization, the development and analysis of complex reaction mechanisms, the measurement of elementary reaction rate constants, absorption and laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy, metal combustion, and the development of sensitivity analysis theory to combustion kinetics modeling. He was previously a Research Engineer at the Scientific Research Laboratories of Ford Motor Company, a Senior Research Scientist and Lecturer at Princeton University, and a Research Collaborator at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. He is currently Director of a Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative at Penn State on nano engineered energetic materials supported by the U.S. Army. He is editor-in-chief of Combustion Science and Technology, co-editor of the 30th Proceedings of the Combustion Institute, and currently serves on the editorial board of Progress in Energy and Combustion Science. He is a member of several technical organizations including the Combustion Institute and AIAA, and is currently a member of the Advanced Power Plant Committee of the Society of Automotive Engineers and the Publications Committee of the Combustion Institute. Dr. Yetter is an author or co-author of over 170 scientific publications, 2 US patents, and the recipient of the 2000 Silver Medal of the Combustion Institute. Funding Information: TIM LIEUWEN is Associate Professor in the School of Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. His research interests include combustion instabilities, combustion of alternative fuels, control of combustion phenomenon, flame-acoustic wave interactions, combustion noise and engine health monitoring. He was awarded the National Science Foundation Career Award in 2000, the Sigma XI Young Faculty Award in 2004, and the AIAA Lawrence Sperry Award in 2005. Dr. Lieuwen is on the Air Breathing Propulsion Technical Committee of the AIAA, where he serves as the Joint Propulsion Conference Planning Subcommittee Chair. He is also a member of the Combustion and Fuels Committee of the ASME, where he serves as point contact. He is a member of AIAA, ASME, The Acoustical Society of America, the American Society for Engineering Education, and the Combustion Institute. He received his Ph.D. from Georgia Institute of Technology.
