Dr. Catherine N. Mulligan obtained her B.Eng. and M. Eng. in chemical engineering and PhD in geoenvironmental engineering from McGill University. She worked for the Biotechnology Research Institute of the National Research Council of Canada and SNC Research Corp. Of SNC Lavalin before joining Concordia University in 1999. She held a Concordia Research Chair in Geoenvironmental Sustainability (Tier I) until 2021 and is a full professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. She has authored more than 130 refereed papers in various journals, co-authored or edited 8 books, holds 3 patents and has supervised to completion more than 75 graduate students. She is the founder and director of the Concordia Institute of Water, Energy and Sustainable Systems. At the Canadian Geotechnical Society, she was the chair of the geoenvironmental division and VP Communications and is currently the chair of the Sustainable Geotechnics Committee. She is a Fellow of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE) and its current Past President. She is also a Fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC) and the Canadian Academy of Engineering (CAE) and was a winner of the John B. Sterling Medal of the EIC. This year she became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.Dr. Masaharu Fukue is a professor emeritus at Tokai University, Japan. He has studied and taught geoenvironmental engineering and geotechnical engineering for 37 years, since 1978, in Marine Science and Technology, Tokai University. He has coauthored two other textbooks, over 100 refereed papers in various journals, and holds six patents. He has recently established the Japanese Geotechnical Association for Housing Disaster Prevention to apply the theory and practice of innovative microbial cementing process, one of his patented process. In addition, another of his Japanese patents, resuspension technique for sediment rehabilitation, is currently being applied in Fukushima, Japan, in the aftermath of the March, 2011 east Japan great earthquake and accompanying tsunami.Dr. Raymond N. Yong is the William Scott Professor Emeritus at McGill University, Canada. He has authored and coauthored 15 other textbooks, over 500 refereed papers in the various journals in the disciplines of geoenvironmental engineering and earth science, and holds 52 patents. He is a fellow of the Royal Society Canada and a Chevalier de l’Ordre National du Québec. He and his students were among the early researchers in geoenvironmental engineering engaged in research on the physicochemical properties and behavior of soils, their use in buffer/barriers for HLW and HSW containment and isolation and restoration/remediation of contaminated sites.
