Autorenporträt

Dr. Netra Prakash Bhandary is a Professor of Civil Engineering at Ehime University of Japan. He teaches various topics in geotechnical engineering, geohazards and geo-disaster reduction. He completed his bachelor's degree in civil engineering from Aligarh Muslim University, India and his master's degree in geotechnical engineering and Ph.D. in engineering from Ehime University of Japan. Dr. Bhandary started his teaching career at Nepal Engineering College in 1994. He later joined Ehime University as an assistant professor in 2003. His main research interests are geotechnical aspects of landslides and seismic ground shaking. He has published more than 150 scientific papers on various topics. Currently, Dr. Bhandary holds the positions of Head of the Department of Environmental Design and Director of the Center for Disaster Management Informatics Research at Ehime University. He served as the president of the Nepal Geotechnical Society until May 2023 and currently leads the ShikokuBranch of the Japanese Geotechnical Society as its president. Dr. Bhandary has received several awards in recognition of his contributions to academia and research. Some of his achievements include all three classes of Biddhya Bhushan Medals (i.e., A, B, and C) given by the kings of Nepal, best paper awards, best presentation awards and best contribution awards. Dr. Binod Tiwari is the Associate Vice President for Research and Sponsored Projects/Chief Research Officer at California State University, Fullerton (CSUF), United States of America (USA) the largest campus within the California State University System. He also holds the position of Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at CSUF. Dr. Tiwari completed his B.Eng. in civil engineering from Tribhuvan University Nepal, M.Sc. in geo and biosphere science from Niigata University, Japan and his Ph.D. in environmental management science from Niigata University, Japan.
