Dr Hazi Azamathulla is Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of the West Indies at St. Augustine, Trinidad. He has a degree in Civil Engineering from SKD University (India), Masters degree in Water Resources from Devi Ahilya University (India) and a Doctorate in Hydraulic engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. His research interests and activities are in the fields of physical hydraulic model studies and hydroinformatics. He has authored more than 100 peer reviewed journal papers and book chapters. He has guided 7 Ph.D. students and 16 masters students. He has been a member of the editorial board of several high ranked Journals: Water Science and Technology, Water Science and Technology: Water Supply, Journal of Pipeline Systems Engineering – ASCE (2009-2013), Dam EngineeringJournal. He is the Associate Editor of journal of hydrology (Elsevier).
Dr Jaan H. Pu is an Associate Professor at University of Bradford, UK. His research concentrates on modelling and laboratory approaches to represent various water engineering applications which include naturally compound riverine flow, sediment transport, water quality, and vegetated flow. His research outputs have led to several journal articles (50+), conference proceedings (10+), edited books (2), and book- chapters (2). He has/is supervising 7 PhD students at Bradford (5 as their principal supervisor) to investigate river hydrodynamics, sediment transport and water quality challenging applications. He has been appointed as the Associate Editor by Frontiers in Environmental Science (IF 4.581); and Leading/Guest Editing various Special Issues for MDPI Fluids, MDPI Water, and Frontiers in Environmental Science. He is also currently Visiting Scientist to Tsinghua University, China, and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
