Biographie:

Srinivasan Chandrasekaran is currently a Professor with Higher Academic Garde in the Department of Ocean Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Madras and a Visiting Professor, Dept of Structural Engineering, University of Naples Federico II, Italy. He holds the prestigious Fellowship conferred by Ministry of Italian University Research (MiUR Fellow). He commands a rich experience in teaching, research, and industrial consultancy of about 29 years. He has supervised many sponsored research projects and offshore consultancy assignments, both in India and abroad. His active research areas include dynamic analysis and design of offshore structures, Structural health monitoring of ocean structures, Risk and Reliability, Fire resistant design of structures, use of Functionally Graded Materials (FGM) in marine risers, and Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE) management in process industries. He was a visiting fellow under the Ministry of Italian University Research (MiUR) invitation to the University of Naples Federico II for two years. During his stay in Italy, he researched the advanced nonlinear analysis of buildings under earthquake loads and other impact loads with experimental validation on full-scaled models. He has authored about 170 research papers in peer-reviewed international journals and refereed conferences organized by professional societies worldwide. He has authored twenty-two textbooks, which various publishers of international repute publish. He is an active member of several professional bodies and societies, both in India and abroad. He has also conducted about thirty distance-education programs on various engineering subjects for the National Program on Technology-Enhanced Learning (NPTEL), Govt. of India. He is a vibrant speaker and delivered many keynote addresses at international conferences, workshops, and seminars organized in India and abroad. He holds life membership of many National and International professional societies. Giorgio Serino is a full Professor of Structural Engineering and Design (Univ. Naples Federico II: since 11/01), involved in teaching and Research activities. He is also an Elected Member of CUN (Italian National University Council, the consulting organization of the Italian Ministry of Education and Research) for the Civil Engineering and Architecture sector (1998 to 2007). Since 2007, he has been nominated as International Relations delegate of the School of Engineering of the University of Naples Federico II to the LLP-Erasmus Program. He is a registered professional engineer in Italy (9703, Albo Ingegneri Napoli) and Engineer in Training in California (XE075052, Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors). Serino has been conferred with many National and International prizes and awards. A few of them are, namely i) Finalist, Philips Morris Prize for Scientific and Technological Research, Italy, 1997...
