Dr. Ikuo Towhata is a professor emeritus of The University of Tokyo and a visiting professor at Kanto Gakuin University. He is also the chair of the Professional Image Committee of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), a director of Tohata Architects & Engineers, and an advisor of the Chuo Kaihatsu Corporation, Japan. He was the president of the Japanese Geotechnical Society and the vice president of the Asian Region of the ISSMGE. He has left an indisputable legacy in geotechnical research, particularly in earthquake geotechnical engineering. He published more than 400 English papers in international journals and conference proceedings and a comprehensive book on geotechnical earthquake engineering. He has also maintained a lifelong dedication to education, as evidenced by his many years of service as a professor at The University of Tokyo, a distinguished visiting professor at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, as well as thetime spent at the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand. He has taught and supervised numerous students from more than 30 countries.

Dr. Gonghui Wang is a professor in the Disaster Prevention Research Institute, Kyoto University, Japan. He has been working on landslide disaster and mitigation measures from the perspectives of geophysics, geotechnics, and engineering geology for more than two decades. His research interests include landslide dynamics, climate change landslides, landslide dams, granular mechanics, soil liquefaction, risk management, and disaster and environmental education. He has published more than 200 papers in scientific journals and conference proceedings. He has also co-edited two books published by Springer. He is currently an editorial board member of Engineering Geology, Landslides, Geosciences, and other Japanese and Chinese journals.
