Assoc. Prof. Tuan Nguyen-Quang is currently the vice dean of Faculty at Civil Engineering, University of Transport and Communications in Vietnam. His research domain is on the behavior of materials and structures, new materials, and technologies in construction. He graduated from University of Transport and Communications, Vietnam, in 2006. Then, he received a master's degree in 2007 and a Ph.D. in 2011 from Ecole Nationale des Travaux Publics de l'Etat (ENTPE) in France. Until now, he has more than 10 years of research in the field of materials in transport construction, especially asphalt materials. He is a member of the editorial board of Road Materials and Pavement Design Journal since 2016. He has published 60 scientific papers (in national and international journal) and 2 scientific books. His total number of citations is 750 (according to Google scholar). His h-index is 13 (according to Google scholar) and is 10 (according to Scopus). He chaired and participated in more than 10 ministerial and state-level projects in Vietnam as well as participated in the international RILEM project (RILEM TC 237 SIB, Testing and characterization of sustainable innovative bituminous materials and systems).

Emeritus Prof. Dr. Guido De Roeck is a highly respected figure in the field of civil engineering, with a distinguished career spanning several decades. He is currently affiliated with the Department of Civil Engineering, Section Structural Mechanics at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KU Leuven), Belgium. With expertise in fuzzy finite element method, dynamic analysis, soil mechanics, and fracture mechanics of composite materials, he has contributed extensively to research in these areas. Professor De Roeck obtained his Bachelor of Engineering Science in 1968, followed by his Master of Science in Civil Engineering in 1971, both from KU Leuven. He earned his Ph.D. in Structural Mechanics from the same institution in 1975 and his Doctor of Science degree in 1981. As a top professor at KU Leuven, Prof. De Roeck has published thousands of international articles, with a citation count of 22609, an h-index of 74, and an i10-index of 220. His notable achievements include being a senior specialist in the field of structural health monitoring with the output-only method of determining damage from vibration measurement. Professor De Roeck leads multiple research activities, covering a broad spectrum of domains such as static and dynamic analysis of mechanical structures, damage detection by vibration monitoring, dynamic system identification, soil-structure interaction, non-linear constitutive soil models, fracture mechanics of composite materials, fuzzy finite element method, and so on.
