analysis of complex structures, and seismic design and response control of tall buildings. Professor Lu's work has resulted in the development of seismic design codes of Shanghai Municipal Government and China National Code. He is the Chief Editor of Structural Design of Tall and Special Buildings Journal published by Wiley, he is the vice president of the International Association for Experimental Structural Engineering, a Fellow of the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering, and a Member of ASCE. He has published over 100 journal papers, has presented more than 30 keynote or invited lectures at international conferences and has published over 200 papers in international conference proceedings. He received the 2017 Nathan M. Newmark Medal "for pioneering research in the development of dynamic testing, structural seismic design and response control for tall buildings," as well as "for his commitment to education and professional service".

Professor Mohammad Noori is a professor of Mechanical Engineering at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineering and a recipient of the Japan Society for Promotion of Science Fellowship. Noori's work in nonlinear random vibrations, seismic isolation and application of artificial intelligence methods for structural health monitoring is widely cited. He has authored over 250 refereed papers, including over 100 journal articles, 6 scientific books, and has edited 25 technical, and special journal, volumes. Noori has supervised over 90 graduate students and post-doc scholars, and has presented over 100 keynote, plenary, and invited talks. He is the founding co-chief editor of an international journal and has served on the editorial board of over 10 other journals and as a member of numerous scientific and advisory boards. He has been a Distinguished Visiting Professor at several highly ranked global universities, and directed the Sensors Program at the National Science Foundation in 2014. He has been a founding director or co-founder of three industry-university research centers and held Chair professorships at two major universities. He served as the dean of engineering at Cal Poly for five years, has also served as the Chair of the national committee of mechanical engineering department heads, and was one of 7 co-founders of the National Institute of Aerospace, in partnership with NASA Langley Research Center.
