Professor Kim, dean of Engineering College of Korea University, obtained his Ph.D. degree from the University of Texas at Austin in 1992 with the thesis title "Optimal replacement/rehabilitation model for water distribution systems". Prof. Kim's major areas of interest include: optimal design and management of water distribution systems, application of optimization techniques to various engineering problems, and development and application of evolutionary algorithms. He has been the faculty of School of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering at Korea University since 1993 and is now serving as the dean of Engineering College. He has hosted international conferences including APHW 2013, ICHSA 2014 and 2015, and HIC 2016 and has given keynote speeches at many international conferences including AOGS 2013, GCIS 2013, SocPros 2014 and 2015, SWGIC 2017, and RTORS 2017. He is a member of National Academy of Engineering of Korea since 2017. Dr.Kusum Deep, is a full Professor (HAG), with the Department of Mathematics as well as Joint Faculty at the Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, India. Also, she is a visiting professor, Liverpool Hope University, UK, University of Technology Sydney, Australia, and University of Wollongong, Australia. With B.Sc. Hons and M.Sc. Hons. School from Centre for Advanced Studies, Panjab University, Chandigarh, she is an M.Phil. Gold Medalist. She earned her Ph.D. from UOR (now IIT Roorkee) in 1988. She has been a national scholarship holder and a postdoctoral from Loughborough University, UK, assisted by International Bursary funded by Commission of European Communities, Brussels. She has won numerous awards like Khosla Research Award, UGC Career Award, Starred Performer of IITR Faculty, best paper awards by Railway Bulletin of Indian Railways, special facilitation in memory of late Prof. M. C. Puri, AIAP Excellence Award. Recently,she was one of the four women
