Satish Chandra is a Professor of Civil Engineering at IIT Roorkee. He was the Director of Central Road Research Institute (CRRI), New Delhi, from January 2016 to January 2022. He obtained his Ph. D. from the University of Roorkee (now IIT Roorkee) in 1994. Prof. Satish Chandra has published over 250 research papers in international & national journals and conference proceedings. He developed the original concept of the Dynamic Passenger Car Unit for converting a heterogeneous traffic stream into a homogeneous stream of passenger cars. This concept is well received by various researchers in India and abroad, particularly in developing countries like Egypt, Vietnam, Cambodia, China and Thailand. He was the key member of the research team in preparing the maiden edition of the Indian Highway Capacity Manual, which was published in 2018. He has guided 22 Ph. D dissertations and has authored 03 books and 02 Manuals. He has three patents to his credit.

Nikhil Saboo is currently an associate professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, Uttarakhand. He obtained his Bachelor s degree (B.Tech) in Civil Engineering from the West Bengal University of Technology, Kolkata, M. Tech from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, Kolkata, and Ph. D from Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee. His major research interests include the characterization of pavement materials, pavement analysis and design, and pavement evaluation. He has an impressive academic portfolio, with around 70 publications in reputed journals and 30 publications from national and international conferences. In recognition of his contributions, he was awarded the Achievement Award for Academician / Scientist / Technologist / Innovator at the 11th CIDC Vishwakarma Awards in 2019. Dr. Saboo is also an editorial board member for Advances in Civil Engineering (Hindawi publications), Construction Materials (Institute of Civil Engineers), and Transport (Institute of Civil Engineers).

Chandra K. Akisetty is currently an asphalt technology division chief at the Maryland Department of Transportation, State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA). He graduated from Osmania University, Hyderabad, and did post-graduation from the Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee. He obtained his Ph.D. from Clemson University, South Carolina, USA. With 16 years of professional experience in pavement materials and quality assurance, his major area of specialization is asphalt materials. His work includes 14 published journal articles, and 4 conference papers focused on asphalt binders and mixtures. He has contributed to specification development teams for cold recycled materials with the Virginia and Maryland Departments of Transportation. In the specification, he developed a carbon emissions estimation model for foam-stabilized asphalt mixtures compared to conventional HMA. The research was supported by a $112,000 Maryland Industrial Partnerships (MIPS) grant. He also developed new specifications for Maryland s Balanced Mix Design (BMD) methods and completed BMD validation using pavement management data. He led an AASHTO interlaboratory study to establish precision estimates for AASHTO T313. He gained expertise in NDT testing of concrete bridge decks and managed material testing for large school construction projects, ensuring compliance with budget and quality standards.
