Satyanarayana Reddy is a Professor of Civil Engineering at College of Engineering, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam, India, and has 28 years of teaching, research, and consultancy experience. His expertise and research interests are in the areas of reinforced soils, ground improvement, landfills, soil retention in excavations, deep foundations, and forensic geotechnical engineering. He obtained B.Tech. in Civil Engineering from Nagarjuna University, M.Tech. in Geotechnical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, M.E. (Structures) from Andhra University, and Ph.D. from National Institute of Technology (NIT) Warangal, India. He has guided 8 Ph.D. scholars and 92 M.Tech. dissertations. He has more than 110 publications in various national and international journals and seminars/conference proceedings. He has organized more than 30 seminars, workshops, and training programs. He is fellow of Indian Geotechnical Society, The Institution of Engineers (India) and Life member of Indian Roads Congress, Indian Concrete Institute, Indian Society for Technical Education, Indian Society for Rock Mechanics and tunneling Technology. He handled several research projects funded by DST, UGC and AICTE. He received the Engineer of the Year 2006 Award from Govt. of Andhra Pradesh and The Institution of Engineers (India) A.P. State Centre, Best Academician Award for the year 2014 from Andhra University and Andhra Pradesh Scientist Award 2020 in Civil Engineering Discipline from A.P. State Council of Science and Technology, Govt. of A.P.  He served as National Executive Committee member of Indian Geotechnical Society during the period 2013-2020.  He served as a member in H-4 Committee on Embankment, Ground Improvement and Drainage Committee of Indian Roads Congress (IRC) for the term 2018-2020. He is serving as member of TC 213 on "Scour and Erosion" of International Society for Soil mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE). Dr. K. Muthukkumaran is currently Professor of Civil Engineering at National Institute of Technology (NIT), Tiruchirappalli, India. He obtained his Ph.D. in Marine Geotechnical Engineering from Indian Institute Technology (IIT) Madras. He has published more than 120 papers in international and national journals and conferences. He has completed 5 R&D (including ISRO Chandrayaan-2 Mission project) & 50 major consultancy projects in geotechnical engineering and published two patents. Dr. Muthukkumaran's area of research is in geotechnical engineering, which includes pile foundation, soil-structure interaction, marine geotechnics & foundations, field instrumentation, geotechnical physical modeling, ground improvement, and forensic geotechnical engineering. He has received DST Young Scientist Award, IGS-Smt. Indra Joshi Biennial Award and Keynote Paper Award-GEOMATE Conference 2015 at Osaka, Japan. He has guided 8 PhD, 5 MS(by research) and more than 40 M.Tech. students in Geotechnical and allied research areas. He is a member of Technical Committee (TC-301 on "Preservation of Historic Sites") of International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering.  He served as a member of IGS National Executive Committeeduring the period 2017-18. He has received DST Young Scientist Award, IGS- Smt. Indra Joshi Biennial Award and Keynote Paper Award - GEOMATE Conference 2015 at Osaka, Japan. He has received NIT Trichy  Achiever Awards for research publications, research projects, maximum citation and consultancy projects. He is a recipient of Bharat Vikas Award -2018. Mr. Ravikiran Vaidya is Principal Engineer and Founder of Geo Dynamics, a company involved in deep foundation testing. He has been instrumental in popularizing and pioneering various methods for deep foundation testing in India. It is to his credit that methods like high strain dynamic testing, integrity testing, sonic logging, etc., are now routinely used all over India to verify pile foundations and also form a part of all specifications of all major projects. He has recently worked on thermal integrity profiling for bored piles and indigenized the bidirectional load testing technology. He has written several technical papers on the subject, and his work has been cited by several authors in various articles and dissertations. He is also Guest Lecturer at academic and industry forums.
