Hemanta Hazarika is currently a Professor at the Graduate School of Engineering and Department of Interdisciplinary Science and Innovation, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan. His research activities include disaster prevention and mitigation, stability of soil-structures during earthquakes and tsunami, ground improvement, application of recycled waste and lightweight materials in constructions, and landslides and their mitigations. He has published over 350 technical papers in various international journals, conferences, workshops and symposia. He has also authored two textbooks on Soil Mechanics and their Japanese versions. In addition, he also served as the editor of three technical books on disaster mitigation and waste tire recycling. Prof. Hazarika pioneered the use of waste tire derived recycled materials for earthquake protection of infrastructures and holds two patents on those. Prof. Hazarika has several years of experience in teaching, research as well as geotechnical practice and consulting both within and outside Japan. He has also successfully led a World Bank project on "Improving the Resilience of Nepal's Strategic Roads Network".

Gopal Madabhushi is a Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Cambridge, UK and the Director of the Schofield Centre. His expertise extends from dynamic centrifuge modelling to the time domain finite element analyses of earthquake engineering problems. He has an active interest in the areas of soil liquefaction, soil-structure interaction and liquefaction resistant measures and their performances. His research interests also include the biomechanics of hip replacement surgeries. He has acted as an expert consultant to the industry on many geotechnical and earthquake engineering problems. He has 150+ Journal Publications and 270+ papers in International conferences and workshops to date.
