Werner Mühlbauer received his master's degree (Dipl.-Ing.) in 1969 and doctoral degree (Dr.-Ing.) in 1974 in mechanical engineering from the University of Stuttgart, Germany and has been working in the field of drying agricultural commodities since 1970. His research covers almost all aspects of drying technologies (physical properties, drying theory, drying simulation, drying kinetics, impact of drying on quality, energy saving, development of drying methods, dryer testing and evaluation, etc.). Prof. Mühlbauer developed high accuracy test benches and standardized procedures to measure drying curves to predict drying behaviour and impact on quality of most important drying products (cereals, root and oil crops, vegetables and spices, stimulants, fruits and medicinal plants. He has published 353 papers in national and international scientific journals; he holds 6 patents and gave more than 250 presentations at scientific conferences in 25 countries, mainly on drying of agricultural products. He supervised 31 PhD-theses, 168-MSc theses and 95-BSc theses. He is author of the Handbook on Grain Drying (in German), the only book on this topic worldwide containing all aspects of drying from drying theory to practical applications. Since his retirement in 2004, Prof. Mühlbauer is working as scientific adviser to a leading German drying company. Joachim Müller received his master’s degree in 1985 and his doctoral degree in 1992 from the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart, Germany. His research focuses on resource-saving technologies in agriculture, particularly the drying of agricultural commodities He has a special emphasis on the drying and storage of grains, including solar drying and hermetic storage of rice. Prof. Müller serves as Editor-in-Chief for the Journal of Applied Research of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants and is a member of the editorial boards of several other journals.
