María Isabel Asensio received her PhD in Mathematics from the University of Salamanca, where she is Associate Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Principal Investigator of the Numerical Simulations and Scientific Computation Research Group. Her main research interests concern mathematical modelling of environmental problems with emphasis on forest fire spread modelling. She has coauthored many articles in international journals and refereeing contributions in international congresses.José Sarrate got his PhD in Applied Sciences from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya where he is Associate Professor at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering in Barcelona. His research interest is the numerical modeling of problems governed by partial differential equations in applied sciences and engineering. He has worked in more than twenty research project founded by public and private institutions that lead to several contributions in indexed journals and international conferences.Albert Oliver received his PhD from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya and is currently an assistant professor at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. His research interest is the application of the finite element method in environmental problems, and particularly in the simulation of air quality and wind fields at the microscale level; he also works on the generation of tetrahedral adapted meshes for these problems.
