Professor CM Wang is the TMR Chair Professor in Structural Engineering, The University of Queensland. He is a Chartered Structural Engineer, a Fellow of the Australia Academy of Technology and Engineering, , a Fellow of Academy of Engineering Singapore, a Fellow of the Institution of Engineers Singapore, a Fellow of the Institution of Structural Engineers and a Fellow of the Society of Floating Solutions (Singapore). His research interests are in the areas of structural stability, vibration, optimization, plated structures and Mega‐Floats. He has published over 450 journal papers and coauthored 10 books such as Very Large Floating Structures, Structural Vibration, Shear Deformable Beams and Plates, Exact Solutions for Buckling of Structural Members and Hencky Bar-chain/net for Structural Analysis. He is an Editor‐in‐Chief of the International Journal of Structural Stability and Dynamics and an Editorial Board Member in several journals including of Engineering Structures, International Journal of Applied Mechanics, and Ocean Systems Engineering. He has won many awards that include the Nishino Medal, JN Reddy Medal, IStruct E Singapore Structural Awards, Keith Eaton Award, Lewis Kent Award, IES Prestigious Engineering Achievement Award, and the Grand Prize of the Next Generation Container Port Challenge.

Dr. Vinh Dao received his BEng from the University of Danang; MEng, GCHEd and Ph D from the University of Queensland (UQ). He has been a Senior Lecturer and the Deputy Director of Research (Civil Engineering), and is currently the Director of Teaching and Learning (Civil Engineering) at UQ. His research interests are in the broad areas of structural engineering and fundamental behaviour of concrete & structures. He has received several competitive ARC grants and published in most respected journals in his fields. His research has gained significant recognition, as partly evidenced by his honours and awards; including (i) Award of Excellence in Concrete Research by the Concrete Institute of Australia, (ii) invited speaker for various state/national/international seminars, (iii) invited international expert as part the 111 Project. He has been an elected National Councillor of the Concrete Institute of Australia and the current Chair of the Institute’s Technical and Publications Committee. He is also a member of various RILEM and ACI committees. In teaching, he has received a few nominations for the most effective lecturer from UQ-EAIT Dean’s commendation students and has been profiled in
Learning@UQ for having contributed to high quality of the student experience at UQ.

Professor S Kitipornchai joined The University of Queensland in 2012 as the TMR Chair (Transport and Main Roads) and Professor of Structural Engineering in the School of Civil Engineering. He had previously been inthe Department of Civil Engineering at UQ from 1976 to 2000. He was appointed Chair Professor at The City University of Hong Kong in 2001 and was the Head of the Department of Building and Construction from2005-2011. Aside from being Head of Department at City U, he was also the Chairman of the Faculty/College Research Committee (2001-2009), Teaching Excellence Award (TEA) Panel (2002-2005), Advisory Committeefor Research Centres and Deputy Chairman of the University Research Committee (2002-2006).​
