Biography

Yozo Fujino, Ph.D is President of Josai University and Professor Emeritus at both The University of Tokyo and Yokohama National University. A world leader in bridge dynamics, control, and monitoring, he has made pioneering contributions to nonlinear vibration modeling, vibration control of cable-supported bridges, pedestrian-induced bridge vibrations, and the development of multiple tuned mass dampers and tuned liquid dampers. More recently, he has advanced vibration-based monitoring of long-span bridges and base-isolated buildings, with significant findings during the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake. He has published over 400 journal papers and 1,000 conference papers and serves on the editorial boards of 15 leading international journals. His distinguished honors include the Medal with Purple Ribbon (2007), Japan Academy (Nippon Gakushi-in) in 2025, and the Japan Academy Prize (2019), where he became only the seventh civil engineer to receive this award in its 109-year history. Internationally, he has received numerous ASCE awards (Raymond C. Reese Prize, Scanlan Medal, George Winter Medal, Moisseiff Award, Housner Medal), the T.Y. Lin Medal, Nishino Medal, IABSE Awards, and delivered the Newmark Distinguished Lecture at UIUC in 2023. He has also served as President of the International Association of Structural Control and Monitoring, Vice President of IABSE, and President of the Asia-Pacific Network for Research in Smart Structures Technology.

Dionysius M. Siringoringo, Ph.D is an IMS Professor at the Institute of Multidisciplinary Sciences, Yokohama National University, Japan. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Tokyo where he later served as Assistant Professor. His research expertise is in bridge vibration, system identification, structural health monitoring of bridges, seismic and wind-induced vibration response analysis and control of long-span bridges. He has published hundreds of papers and has involved in numerous research projects, including seismic and wind monitoring of long-span bridges in the Tokyo metropolitan area, studies on vehicle–bridge interaction under earthquakes and strong winds, seismic monitoring using wireless sensor networks, vision-based vibration measurement, pedestrian-induced bridge vibration, and seismic monitoring of base-isolated bridges. His work has been recognized with multiple awards, including the JSCE Tanaka Award for Best Paper, the IABSE Outstanding Scientific Research Paper Award, the Japan Association of Wind Engineering (JAWE) Award, the International Association of Structural Control and Monitoring (IASCM)’s Takuji Kobori Award, and the ASCE Bridge Engineering Best Reviewer Award.
