Dr. Sreevalsa Kolathayar pursued M.Tech. from IIT Kanpur, Ph.D. from Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and served as International Research Staff at UPC BarcelonaTech, Spain. He is presently Faculty in the Department of Civil Engineering, National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal, India. Dr. Sreevalsa has authored five books and over 80 research papers. He is Associate Editor of two international journals. His research interests include Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering, Seismic Hazard and Risk, Landslides, Disaster Risk Reduction, Reinforced Earth and Water Geotechnics. He is currently the Secretary Indian Chapter of International Association for Coastal Reservoir Research (IACRR) and Executive Committee Member of Indian Society of Earthquake Technology. In 2017, The New Indian Express honoured Dr. Sreevalsa with South India's Most Inspiring Young Teachers Award. He is the recipient of ISET DK Paul Research Award from Indian Society of Earthquake Technology in 2018. He is in the roster of two technical committees of ASCE Geo-Institute. He received "IEI Young Engineers Award" by The Institution of Engineers (India) in recognition of his contributions in the field of Civil Engineering. Recently, Dr. Sreevalsa was featured by the American Society of Civil Engineers in their Geostrata Magazine.
Dr. Siau Chen Chian Darren is Associate Professor at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, National University of Singapore (NUS). He obtained his Ph.D. and B.Eng. (First Class with Gold Medal) from Cambridge University and Nanyang Technological University, respectively. Dr. Chian's contribution in earthquake engineering lies in the field of catastrophe modelling, landslides and damage vulnerability of underground structures. He was funded by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) as the geotechnical specialist to carry out reconnaissance missions at the Mw7.6 Padang Earthquake in 2009, Mw9.0 Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 and Mw7.8 Muisne Earthquake in 2016. Dr. Chian was named Top 10 Innovators Under 35 in Asia by the MIT Technology Review for his novel contribution in catastrophe modelling in 2016. Dr. Chian is a Nominated Member of the Technical Committee on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering TC203 under the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE). He is also an Integrated Research on Disaster Risk (IRDR) Young Scientist, supported by the International Science Council (ISC) and the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR).
