Dr. Clare E. Robinson is a Canada Research Chair in Water Quality and Professor in Civil and Environmental Engineering at Western University. She recieved her BEng and PhD from the University of Queensland, Australia. Before joining Western University in 2009, she completed a post-doctoral fellowship at EPFL in Switzerland and worked as a Water Engineer for a water supply and sanitation NGO in Bangladesh. She is a registered professional engineer in OntarioDr. Robinson specializes in investigating water-borne contaminants in the environnent with a focus on understanding the sources, transport and fate of contaminants in natural and engineered systems. Dr. Robinson’s current research includes evaluating impact of groundwater contaminants on surface water quality, urban stormwater management for water quality control, and determining the impacts of onsite wastewater systems on surface water quality. Dr. Robinson received an Early Research Award from the Ontario Government (2012) and was a member of the International Joint Commission Great Lakes Science Advisory Board from 2014 to 2019. She also was awarded a Western Faculty Scholar (2020-2022) and the Western Green Award (2018). Dr. Robinson has published over 80 peer-reviewed articles in leading international journals and given over 60 invited talks at international conferences, universities, and at government and industry workshops.Dr. Ayman El Ansary is an Associate Professor and Acting Chair at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Western University, and a registered professional engineer in Ontario. He is also an executive member of PEO London Chapter and the chair of PEO London Chapter Scholarship Fund committee. He received his BSc and MSc from Alexandria University, Egypt and PhD from the University of Western Ontario, Canada.Dr. El Ansary has vast experience in teaching, research, and consulting in the area of structural engineering in Canada and overseas. His main research interests include; finite element analysis, structural dynamics, fluid-structure interaction problems, and optimization techniques in structural design. Dr. El Ansary has several publications in refereed journals and conferences and he serves as a reviewer for several structural engineering journals. He is the recipient of a number of awards including; MITACS Postdoctoral Scholarship Award, Ontario Graduate Scholarship Award, and Graduate Thesis Research Award. He is also an active member of several professional associations including the Canadian Society of Civil Engineering (CSCE), American Society of Civil Engineers, and the Egyptian Syndicate of Engineers (ESE). He is also a Vice-Chair in the CSCE Steel Structures Committee under the Structures Division.Dr. Arnold Yuan is a professor of Civil Engineering at Toronto Metropolitan University. Well-recognized as a national leader in infrastructure asset management, his research interests have covered infrastructure asset management, risk and reliability, progressive collapse, public-private partnerships, and many other topics related to risk-informed lifecycle infrastructure engineering design and management. He currently is serving the Board of Directors of Canadian Network of Asset Managers, and chairing Asset Management Committee of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering. He is also a member of the Editorial Board of the Emerald Journal of Infrastructure Asset Management.
