Dr. Steffe is a Professor at Michigan State University who has developed and taught many
food and bioprocess engineering courses to undergraduate and graduate students.  He
has broad experience in the areas of applied rheology, non-Newtonian fluid mechanics,
and process design for systems handling biological fluids.  Dr. Steffe is a registered
professional engineer in the State of Michigan.
 An electronic copy of his previous book
entitled "Rheological Methods in Food Process Engineering" is available free of charge.

Dr. Daubert is an Associate Professor at North Carolina State University.  He conducts
research in the area of food rheology and teaches a graduate level course in the subject.  
The current goal of his research program is to use an understanding of  rheological
behavior to explain the role of thermal-physical treatments and molecular-level (physical
and chemical) interactions on the quality and functionality of food and biopharmaceutical
products.  Dr. Daubert is the Associate Director of the NCSU Biomanufacturing Training and
Education Center.
