Dookie Kim received his Bachelor degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Korea University in 1993, and he earned his Master and Ph.D. degrees in Civil Engineering from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in 1995 and 1999 respectively. He is as a post-doctoral researcher and at Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI), University of California, and Irvine (UCI) and as a senior researcher at UNISON Co. Ltd in September 1999 - February 2003. Since March 2003, Dr. Kim has been teaching, researching, and consulting at the Department of Civil Engineering, Kunsan National University (KNU), Jeonbuk, Korea. Pijush Samui is working as an associate professor in civil engineering department at NIT Patna, India. He graduated in 2000, with a B.Tech. in Civil Engineering from Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur, India. He received his M.Sc. in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering from Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India (2004). He holds a Ph.D. in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering (2008) from Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India. He was a postdoctoral fellow at University of Pittsburgh (USA) (2008-2009) and Tampere University of Technology (Finland) (2009- 2010). At University of Pittsburgh, he worked on design of efficient tool for rock cutting and application of Support Vector Machine (SVM) in designing of geostructure. At Tampere University of Technology, he worked on design of railway embankment, slope reliability and site characterization. In 2010, Dr. Pijush joined in the Center for Disaster Mitigation and Management at VIT University as an Associate Professor. He was promoted to a Professor in 2012.
