Yang Yang was born in Dazhu, Sichuan Province. He is a postdoctoral research fellow, professor, and doctoral supervisor at the Department of Civil Engineering, Tsinghua University, where he worked together with Academician Jianguo Nie (co-supervisor). He has chaired three projects for the National Natural Science Foundation of China; one project for the National Key R & D Program; two projects for Chongqing Science and Technology Bureau; one project for Chongqing Transportation Bureau; one project for the Science and Technology Committee of Fuling District, Chongqing; and three projects for the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities. His previous honors include one first prize (ranked 1st) and two second prizes (ranked 1st) of first-class industry societies/associations registered by the State Science and Technology Awards Office; and the second prize of the Science and Technology Progress Award of Qinghai Province (ranked 1st). He has published more than 40 papers in SCI- and EI-indexed journals, including Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing, Engineering Structures, IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, Structural Control and Health Monitoring, Journal of Sound and Vibration, Remote Sensing, China Journal of Highway and Transport, Journal of Building Structures, Chinese Journal of Scientific Instrument, and Engineering Mechanics. Currently, he is holding 9 software copyrights. He has applied for 21 invention patents, 9 of which have been granted. In addition, he also serves as a guest editor for several special issues, such as Remote Sensing in Structural Health Monitoring (IF: 5.349), Symmetry in Safety and Disaster Prevention Engineering (IF: 2.940), and Symmetry in Structural Health Monitoring (IF: 2.940).Ali Rahman is currently an assisstant professor at Southwest Jiaotong University (SWJTU). His research interests include a wide range of topics within the pavement engineering such as design & analysis of pavement structure, road materials, modified asphalt & asphalt mixture, and mechanics of pavement. Currently, his main focus is on the interface bonding behavior between asphalt pavement layers. Before joining the Ph.D. program, he was a lecturer at Jundi-Shapur Universsity of Technology in Iran for 3.5 years.
