De-Yi Shang got his Ph.D degree from Tsinghua University, China, and worked at seven universities in China, Europe and North America as professor and research scientist. In the earlier years of his career, he carried out his research on radiation heat transfer in furnaces and enclosures filled with non-isothermal mediums. Then, he has been doing his research on challenging subjects on heat transfer of free/forced convection with viscous boundary layer flows and heat and mass transfer of free/forced convection film boiling/condensation, and obtained a system of satisfactory research achievements. His research contributions are in a number of his innovative publications of the authority and distinguished journals, as well as his academic monographs from the top international publisher. In 1996, he was awarded very prestigious research scientist from Norwegian Research Council designed for outstanding foreign scientist with proven international reputations. In 1999, he was included in "Who's Who in the World", USA, as an Eminent Scientist. In 2008 his innovative research achievements for "heat and mass transfer of free convection film condensation of vapor-gas mixture" corrected the key mistakes of the unanimously accepted authentic research results on this field, which was recognized by "the Global Thermal Fluid Center". Such research has very important value for safe operation of thermal and nuclear power plants. Based on his creative research achievements, he published his two academic monographs, in Springer-Verlag, titled "Free Convection Film Flows and Heat Transfer" and "Theory of Heat Transfer with Forced Convection Film Flows" in 2006 and 2010 respectively. In 2011, he was included in "Who's Who in Thermal-Fluids" (www.thermalfluidscentral.org/who/), the most comprehensive online in thermal-fluids science and engineering from all over the world, for commendation of his outstanding contributions to thermal fluid science. Now, he is doing his extensive
