Dr. Samui is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil
Engineering at NIT Patna, India. He received his PhD in
Geotechnical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Science
Bangalore, India, in 2008. His research interests include
geohazard, earthquake engineering, concrete technology, pile
foundation and slope stability, and application of AI for solving
different problems in civil engineering. Dr. Samui is a repeat
Elsevier editor but also a prolific contributor to journal papers,
book chapters, and peer-reviewed conference proceedings.
Barnali Dixon is a professor and executive director of Initiative
on Coastal Resilience and Adaptation (iCAR) and the director of
Geospatial Analytics lab (G-SAL) at the University of South
Florida. Her research interests include the development and
application of spatially integrated decision support tools (SDST)
using GIS, GPS and remote sensing tools for modeling and managing
soil, land use and land-water interfaces (terrestrial sources and
aquatics sinks, including coastal waters) using approximation
tools. She is particularly interested in transdisciplinary modeling
of land-water interface under climate change in the context of
planning, adaptation, and resilience. I have secured over $1.5
million in funding, published 50+ refereed publications, nineteen
monographs, and technical reports. Dieu Tien Bui is Professor in
GIS, in the Department of Business and IT at the University of
South-Eastern Norway, Norway. He obtained a Master of Engineering,
at Hanoi University of Mining and Geology, Hanoi, Vietnam, a PhD at
the Department of Mathematical Sciences and Technology (IMT),
Norwegian University, and was postdoctoral researcher in the same
department. His research interests include GIS, remote sensing,
artificial intelligence and machine learning. He published journal
and review articles, and book chapters. .
