Prof. 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 Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal, India. Dr. Sreevalsa has authored five books, edited 16 book volumes, and published 100 research papers. He is Associate Editor of two International Journals and acted as a reviewer for many. His research interests include Seismic Hazard Assessment, Local Site effects, Disaster Risk Reduction, Earth reinforcement, and Water geotechnics. He is currently the Secretary Indian chapter of the International Association for Coastal Reservoir Research (IACRR), and Executive Committee Member of the Indian Society of Earthquake Technology (ISET). In 2017, The New Indian Express honored Dr Sreevalsa with South India's Most Inspiring Young Teachers Award. He is the recipient of the ISET DK Paul Research Award from the Indian Society of Earthquake Technology (ISET) in 2018. He is on the roster of two technical committees of ASCE Geo-Institute. Dr. Sreevalsa received the "IEI Young Engineers Award" by The Institution of Engineers (India), in recognition of his contributions in the field of Civil Engineering. He served as the Organizing Secretary to the 7th International Conference on Recent Advances in GeotechnicalEarthquake Engineering.
Prof. Dr. Ravi Sankar Jakka is working as an Associate Professor in the Department of Earthquake Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, and serving as Editor to the International Journal of Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering & ISET Journal of Earthquake Technology. He graduated in Civil Engineering from Andhra University Engineering College in the year 2001. He has obtained masters and doctorate degrees from IIT Delhi in the years 2003 and 2007 respectively. His areas of interest are Dynamic Site Characterization, Soil Liquefaction, Seismic Slope Stability of Dams, Landslides, Foundations & Seismic Hazard Assessment. He has published over 100 articles in reputed international journals and conferences. He has supervised over 35 Masters Dissertations and 7 Ph.D. thesis, while he is currently guiding 10 Ph.D. Thesis. He has received prestigious DAAD and National Doctoral fellowships. He has obtained University Gold Medal from Andhra University. He also received the ‘Young Geotechnical Engineer Best Paper Award’ from the Indian Geotechnical Society. He was instrumental in the development of the Earthquake Early Warning System for northern India, a prestigious national project. He was also the Organizing Secretary to 7th International Conference on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering.
Prof. Dr. Vasant Matsagar is currently serving as Dogra Chair Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi. He obtained his doctorate degree from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay in 2005 in the area of seismic base isolation of structures. He performed post-doctoral research at the Lawrence Technological University (LTU) USA, in the area of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) in bridge structures. His current research interests include structural dynamics and vibration control; multi-hazard protection of structures from earthquake, blast, fire, and wind; finite element methods; fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) in prestressed concrete structures; and bridge engineering. He has published over a hundred international journal papers, hundreds of international conference manuscripts, a book, six edited proceedings, and has filed for two patents. His current Google Scholar citations are 3,794, having an h-index of 29. He has guided students at both undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) levels in their bachelor's and master's projects and doctoral research. Besides student guidance, he is actively engaged in sponsored research and consultancy projects at national and international levels. He is also involved in teaching courses in structural engineering, e.g., structural analysis, finite element methods, numerical methods, structural stability, structural dynamics, design of steel and concrete structures to name a few.
