Meet the editors

Dr. Sayed Hemeda is a Doctor of Civil Engineering. He is currently Professor of Geotechnical Engineering and Architectural Preservation of Architectural Heritage, Conservation Department, Faculty of Archaeology, Cairo University, Egypt. He is also the manager of historic buildings Conservation Center in Cairo University. He is the recipient of many awards from Cairo University including prizes for scientific excellence (2017),

encouragement (2014), and best PhD thesis (2009-2010). He was also awarded the General Union of Arab Archaeologists prize for academic excellence. He has published 85 articles, 23 books, and has been cited 130 times. He has given more than 38 invited lectures in 16 countries. His primary interests are geotechnical engineering for architectural heritage preservation and engineering data analysis including pattern recognition as applied to primarily analytical data from various sources such as objects of cultural significance. He is editor in chief for the *Journal of Geological Research*. He is an editorial board member for many organizations and publications including Springer Nature, IntechOpen, the *Open Journal of Geology*, *Progress of Electrical and Electronic Engineering*, *Geoscience Journal*, and *Alexandria Engineering Journal.*

Dr. M.B.C. Ülker graduated from the North Carolina State University Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering with a PhD degree in Civil Engineering in 2009. His doctoral research topic was on the dynamic analysis of saturated and nearly saturated porous media with applications to wave-induced seabed response. Following his PhD study, Dr. Ulker worked as an instructor at the Missouri University of Science and

Technology Department of Civil Engineering in 2010. He then joined the Istanbul Technical University (ITU) Earthquake Engineering and Disaster Management Institute in 2012 and has been a professor at ITU since then. Dr. Ulker's research interests focus mainly on analytical and computational geomechanics with applications to geotechnical earthquake engineering, coastal and offshore geotechnical engineering and unsaturated soil mechanics. He is currently running an externally funded research group at ITU undertaking analytical, numerical, and experimental studies in these fields.
