Ho as the guest editor for this special issue. Clifford K. Ho finished his PhD at the University of California at Berkeley in 1993. His research topics cover: - - - - Development of microchemical sensor systems and novel characterization methods for real-time, continuous, in-situ sensing of volatile organic compounds. Performance of numerical simulations and analytical analyses of problems related to environmental restoration and nuclear waste management. Predicting of flow and transport of groundwater and contaminants in heterogeneous and fractured porous media in thermally perturbed systems. Validating mathematical models of heat and mass transfer processes in porous media through combined experimental and numerical studies. At the moment, he is working at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he is a distinguished member of the technical staff. He also serves as an adjunct professor at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. I am very pleased to win Clifford K. Ho over as an expert and guest editor for this special issue. Furthermore, I would like to thank him for his work and his contribution to Sensors. Michael J.
