Mr. Hui Chen is a Ph.D. candidate in Department of Geotechnical Engineering at Tongji University, China. He obtained his bachelor's degree in Collage of Transportation from Wuhan University of Technology, China, his Master's degree in Collage of Civil Engineering from Central South University, China. His research interests include: (1) analytical and numerical methods for soil-tunnel interaction; (2) tunnel risk assessment; and (3) machine learning in geotechnical engineering. He is familiar with MATLAB, FLAC3D and Python. He specializes in lifecycle resilience assessment of tunnel engineering under soil-water coupling uncertainty, focusing on probabilistic modeling of geotechnical variability and multihazard performance evaluation.

Dr. Dongming Zhang is a professor at Tongji University, China. He currently serves as the Deputy Director of Department of Geotechnical Engineering at Tongji University, and the Director of the Infrastructure Resilience Research Division at the Shanghai Institute of Disaster Prevention and Relief. His research interest focuses on the evolution and control of tunnel structural safety performance under uncertainty. In this field, he holds several prominent academic positions, including Founding Secretary-General of TC309 (Technical Committee on Machine Learning and Big Data) of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), Secretary-General of the Ministry of Science and Technology Innovation Team on Underground Infrastructure Safety and Risk, Deputy Secretary-General and Chair of the Youth Committee of the Engineering Risk and Insurance Research Branch of the China Civil Engineering Society (CCES), Member of the Council and Deputy Chair of the Youth Committee of the CCES Tunnel and Underground Works Branch.
