Dr. Sireesh Saride is currently Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad. His expertise and research interests are in the area of pavement geotechnics, geosynthetics, and ground improvement. He graduated from JNTU College of Engineering, Kakinada, in 2000 and earned his Master’s degree integrated with Ph.D. from Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, in 2006. Prior to joining IIT Hyderabad, he was Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Texas at Arlington. Dr. Saride has published more than 200 referred journals, conference articles, and technical reports. He is Member of ASCE, ICE, TRB, International Geosynthetic Society, Life Member of IRC, and Fellow of Indian Geotechnical Society. 

Dr. Sumanta Haldar is currently an associate professor at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bhubaneswar. He has over 15 years of research experience in the field of offshore geotechnics, soil–structure interaction, and dynamics of soils and foundations. Dr. Haldar is working on offshore geotechnics, foundations for renewable energy devices, and soil–structure interaction problem. During his doctoral research at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, he worked on static and dynamic soil structure interaction and risk reliability-based design of pile foundation. His current research aims at developing theoretical models of various geotechnical structures with a goal of producing more rational design solutions and considering reliability concepts. The focus of his research is on the application of the fundamental principles of mechanics and mathematics in the experimental and computational aspects of geotechnical engineering. He has more than 50 peer-reviewed international and national journal and conference publications and book chapters.
