Reza Javaherdashti, PhD, earned his PhD on full scholarship from Monash University, Victoria, Australia. He has more than 15 years of corrosion management experience in various industries and especially in oil and gas upstream and downstream. He has authored or coauthored more than 40 root cause analysis reports for industries and is the author or coauthor of two books on corrosion published in the United Kingdom and the United States. He is a member of ACA, NACE, and the Institute of Corrosion.Chikezie Nwaoha (AMIMechE, MOSHAN) is an independent researcher and petroleum/natural gas engineer and a graduate of petroleum engineering from the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Nigeria. He has co-edited two books, the Dictionary of Industrial Terms and Process Plant Equipment: Operation, Control and Reliability. He has also co-authored several scientific articles in leading international peer-reviewed journals. He is the downstream correspondent to Petroleum Africa magazine and a contributing editor to Control Engineering Asia, Oil Review Africa, Oil & Gas Eurasia Magazine, and PetroMin. He is a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), Nigerian Gas Association (NGA), Occupational Safety and Health Association Nigeria (OSHAN), and the Pipeline Professionals’ Association of Nigeria (PLAN). He is a guest member of the Subsea Integrity Research Group, University of Aberdeen, UK, and is currently a graduate student at the Petroleum and Petrochemical College, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand.Henry Tan, PhD, is a senior lecturer in safety and reliability engineering and subsea engineering at the School of Engineering, University of Aberdeen, UK. He is also a guest professor at Zhejiang University, China; a member of the American Society for Quality; and a member of the National Subsea Research Institute, UK. Dr. Tan’s work on corrosion covers both industrial applications and theoretical fundamentals. His work published in Physical Review Letters 1998 on nanoscale chemical etching found cross-disciplinary applications including stress corrosion cracking, corrosion protection, tectonic engineering, and microelectromechanical systems. Dr. Tan received his academic training at Brown University, USA, and Tsinghua University, China.

"... covers a wide spectrum of corrosion topics with rich illustrations, an easy-to-understand writing style, and the presentation of review articles, providing state-of-the-art corrosion-mitigation techniques useful for practicing engineers, technologists, and field technicians. It also provides a basic understanding of corrosion mechanisms, which will be equally beneficial to people who are not directly involved in the corrosion field to assist them in their related tasks. ... this book is equally suitable for undergraduate curriculums as well as for obtaining professional certification in the field of corrosion and material selection and design."—From the Foreword by Dr. Fakhruddin Habiby, MS, Ph.D., FICorr, NACE Certified Materials Selection and Design Specialist and Corrosion Specialist, Lloydminster, Alberta, Canada"It provides fundamental knowledge and background to engineers who are engaged in the operation of the oil and gas industries. In addition, by giving some practical examples, it enhances their understanding of the root cause of corrosion problems, which they may encounter in day-to-day operations."—Dr. Sadegh Parvizi, FIMMM, Oxford, UK
