Stayanarayanan is currently working as Professor & Head of Department at SRM Institute of Science and Technology (formerly known as SRM University), Kattankulathur campus. He has obtained BE in Civil from College of Engineering, Guindy, 1984, ME in Structural Engineering from Coimbatore Institute of Technology, Coimbatore, 1987 and PhD in Civil Engineering-Structural Engineering from SRM Institute of Science and Technology. His major areas of research interest are Structural Systems, Sustainable Technology, Concrete Technology and Finite element Analysis. He has published 44 papers in peer reviewed international journals.  Dr. Hyung Joon Seo received the bachelor´s degree in civil engineering from Korea University, Seoul, South Korea, in 2007, and the Ph.D. degree in geotechnical engineering from Korea University in 2013. In 2013, he worked as a research professor in Korea University. He served as a visiting scholar at University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK, and he worked for engineering department in University of Cambridge as a research associate from 2014 to 2016. In August 2016, he got a Lecturer position in the Department of Civil Engineering at the Xi'an Jiaotong Liverpool University (XJTLU), China. His research interests geotechnical engineering such as, SMART monitoring system for infrastructure, soil-structure interaction (tunneling, slope stability, pile), Antarctic survey and freezing ground.  Dr. N. Gopalakrishnan was a scientist at the Advanced Seismic Testing and Research Laboratory (ASTaR) of CSIR-SERC, before assuming charge as Director, CSIR-CBRI.  He has done B.E at the college of Engineering, Guindy (CEG), 1984, followed by M.Tech at the Indian Institute of Technology, (IIT) Madras in Structural Engineering, 1986. He has obtained Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore during 2008. He was a design engineer at the Tata Consulting Engineers, Bangalore between 1986-1987. Later on, he joined CSIR-SERC at the then Structural Dynamics and Machine Foundation (SDL) division of CSIR-SERC as Scientist-B in 1987. He moved on to Earthquake Engineering division of CSIR-SERC called as the ASTaR lab in 2003 after the laboratory was commissioned. He was actively involved in the planning, design and construction of this laboratory at CSIR-SERC. His field of interest include: (a) Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (b) Experimental methods in Structural Engineering (c) Machine supporti
