Autorenporträt

Scott Arthur is a professor at the Institute for Infrastructure & Environment at Heriot-Watt University in the UK. He began his research career in 1992, working under the supervision of Professor Richard Ashley on a prominent EPSRC-funded project that investigated sediment and pollutant transport within combined sewer networks. After completing this work in Dundee, he moved to a Post-Doctoral Research Associate position at Heriot-Watt University in 1996. In August 2000, he was appointed to a lecturer position at Heriot-Watt University. Since then, his research has been supported by EPSRC, the European Union, the Scottish Government, the Royal Academy of Engineering, SNIFFER, and CREW. Prof. Arthur's research covers all aspects of urban drainage systems, from roof systems to urban watercourses and large sewer networks. He has published over 60 international papers in indexed journals and has been involved in several research projects funded by the Scottish Government and the European Union. Masato Saitoh is a professor at the Graduate School of Science & Engineering and is currently the Head of the Department of Resilient Society at Saitama University in Japan. After earning his Doctor of Engineering (D.Engg.) from Saitama University in 2001, Dr. Saitoh transitioned to academia as an Assistant Professor at the same institution. Before this, he worked as a researcher at Japan's Railway Technical Research Institute (RTRI). His primary research interests include the dynamic response of the soil-pile system and foundation engineering. Dr. Saitoh has published over 35 international papers in prestigious journals and 17 national journal publications. Based on his research, he also holds 14 patents, including international PCT patents subsidized by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST). He has led numerous research projects the Japanese Government (JSPS) funded. In 2017, Dr. Saitoh received the Best Lecturer Award from Saitama University for outstanding teaching contributions. He also received the Best Paper Award from the Japanese Geotechnical Society in 2003 and the Best Speaker Award at the JSCE conference in 1997 and 1999. In recognition of his contributions, Prof. Saitoh received the Best Lecturer Award from Saitama University in 2017. He also received the Best Paper Award from the Japanese Geotechnical Society in 2003 and the Best Speaker Award at the JSCE conference in 1997 and 1999. He also received the Governor of Tokyo Award from the Japan Institute of Invention and Innovation in 2022. Aysha Akter is a professor and the Head of the Department of Civil Engineering at Chittagong University of Engineering & Technology (CUET) in Bangladesh. She earned a prestigious PhD in Civil and Offshore Engineering from Heriot-Watt University, United Kingdom, in 2011, supported by a competitive James-Watt Scholarship. With 24 years of experience leading academic institutions in Bangladesh and abroad, she has engaged in research activities and taught students from diverse social and cultural backgrounds. Her primary research interests include water resources engineering, riverbank protection through physical and numerical modeling, groundwater engineering, climate change effects on water resources, and coastal engineering. Dr. Akter has 40 national and international journal publications, 52 articles in national and international conferences, 5 book chapters and a research book. Her excellent research in ‘rainwater harvesting’ earned her the prestigious University Grants Commission (UGC) Award in 2015. She also received the best paper award at the 2nd International Conference on Research & Innovation in Civil Engineering (ICRICE 2020). She has been involved in several research projects on alternative water sources, riverbank protection, and coastal engineering, funded by the University Grant Commission, Bangladesh. Dr. Akter is a member of many professional organizations, including ASCE, IWA, and IEB, and serves the academic community as a reviewer for distinguished journals.
