Andrei D. Polyanin, D.Sc., Ph.D., Professor, is a well-known scientist of broad interests and is active in various areas of mathematics, mechanics, and chemical engineering sciences. Professor Polyanin graduated with honors from the Department of Mechanics and Mathematics of Moscow State University in 1974. He received his Ph.D. degree in 1981 and D.Sc. degree in 1986 at the Institute for Problems in Mechanics of the Russian (former USSR) Academy of Sciences. Since 1975, Professor Polyanin has been working at the Institute for Problems in Mechanics of the Russian Academy of Sciences; he is also Professor of Mathematics at Bauman Moscow State Technical University and at National Research Nuclear University MEPhI. He is a member of the Russian National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics and of the Mathematics and Mechanics Expert Council of the Higher Certification Committee of the Russian Federation. Professor Polyanin is an author of more than 30 books in English, Russian, German, and Bulgarian as well as over 210 research papers and three patents.

Vsevolod G. Sorokin, Ph.D., graduated from the Department of Applied Mathematics of the Bauman Moscow State Technical University in 2014. He has been working as a research scientist in the Ishlinsky Institute for Problems in Mechanics of the Russian Academy of Sciences since 2015. He defended his PhD thesis on mathematical modelling and numerical integration of reaction-diffusion systems with delay in the Bauman Moscow State Technical University in 2018. Doctor Sorokin has published about 30 research papers.

Alexei I. Zhurov, Ph.D., is an outstanding scientist in nonlinear mechanics, mathematical physics, computer algebra, biomechanics, and morphometrics. He graduated with honors from the Department of Airphysics and Space Research of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in 1990. Since then has become a member of staff of the Ishlinsky Institute for Problems in Mechanics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, where he received his PhD in mechanics and fluid dynamics in 1995 and has become a senior research scientist since 1999. Since 2001, he has joined Cardiff University as a research scientist in the area of biomechanics and morphometrics. Doctor Zhurov has published over 120 research papers and three books, including Solution Methods for Nonlinear Equations of Mathematical Physics and Mechanics by A.D. Polyanin, V.F. Zaitsev, and A.I. Zhurov (Fizmatlit, 2005; in Russian).
