Information Science and Computing Technologies for Civil Infrastructural Engineering
Dr. Kincho H. Law, Stanford University, USA

Dr. Kincho H. Law is Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University. He received his B.Sc. in Civil Engineering and B.A. in Mathematics from the University of Hawaii in 1976, and M.S. and Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in 1979 and 1981, respectively. After serving as Assistant Professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute from 1982 to 1988, he joined Stanford University in 1988. Prof. Law’s research interests focus on computational and information science in engineering. His research has dealt with various aspects of high performance computing; sensing, monitoring and control of engineering systems; legal and engineering informatics; smart manufacturing; web services, cloud and Internet computing.

Prof. Law was the recipient of the ASCE Computing in Civil Engineering Award in 2011. He has received best paper awards from the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and Digital Government Society. Prof. Law was elected Distinguished Member of ASCE in 2017, Fellow of ASME in 2017, Life Member of ASCE in 2018, and Senior Member of IEEE in 2019.

Multi-Omics Approach on the Ecotoxicological Assessment of Microplastics
Dr. Bae Sung Woo, National University of Singapore, Singapore

Dr. Sungwoo Bae is an assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the National University of Singapore (NUS). Before joining t NUS, he was a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Bae received his Ph.D. (Major: Environmental Engineering, Minor: Microbiology) from the University of California, Davis in 2010. Dr. Bae has studied the application of molecular biology in environmental science and gained skills in ecotoxicology through his research. His previous studies of ecotoxicogenomic and metabolomic analysis of zebrafish embryos exposed to triclosan have provided underlying information on triclosan’s toxicity at the molecular level in the aquatic ecosystem. He has expertise in molecular biology and extensive research experiences in the application of molecular biological techniques (e.g., PCR, qPCR, RT-qPCR, Next-generation sequencing, and bioinformatics) to aquatic toxicology. Particularly, Dr. Bae is interested in the multi-omics approach, including metabolomics, transcriptomics, gut microbiomes, and its role in system biology to explore complex biological networks or systems and understand the dynamics of the genome, transcriptome, and metabolome in engineered and natural environments.
