Prof. J. N. Reddy is Distinguished Professor, Regents' Professor, and inaugural holder of the Oscar S. Wyatt Endowed Chair in Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University, USA. He is the author of nearly 700 journal papers and 21 books (several with second, third, and fourth editions) on energy principles, variational methods, plates and shells, composite materials, mechanics of solids, and the finite element method (linear and nonlinear) and its applications. He has delivered over 175 plenary, keynote, and invited lectures at international conferences, and taught 116 short courses on continuum mechanics, variational methods, linear and nonlinear finite elements, composite materials, and nonlocal structural theories. He is a member of the US National Academy of Engineering and Foreign Fellow of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the Royal Academy of Engineering of Spain, the Canadian Academy of Engineering, the Indian National Academy of Engineering, and the Brazilian National Academy of Engineering, and a honorary member of the European Academy of Engineering. He received numerous awards, and most recent one is the 2019 Timoshenko Medal from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
Prof. C. M. Wang is the TMR Chair Professor of Structural Engineering at the School of Civil Engineering, The University of Queensland, Australia. He is Chartered Structural Engineer, Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering, Fellow of the Academy of Engineering Singapore, Fellow of the Institution of Engineers Singapore, and Fellow of the Institution of Structural Engineers.
