DAMAN K. pANESAR is a Professor with the Department of Civil and Mineral Engineering,
University of Toronto, Canada. One broad objective of her research program is to advance concrete
technologies and concrete composites aimed to extend service life of structures and infrastructure while
reducing the environmental impacts, and improving the economic feasibility. Her research outcomes are
applied to underground, nuclear, transportation and building structures. She is an active member of several
committees (CSA, RILEM, SMiRT, and IC-IMACTS). She also serves on the editorial board for Cement and
Concrete Composites, and the Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering.

KARINA E. SETO is currently working as a civil and hydrotechnical team leader at WSP Canada. She
received her BEng. degree (McMaster University) and MASc. degree (University of Toronto) in Canada. Her
research interests include sustainability modeling of construction materials based on life cycle assessment and
environmental management.

CAMERON J. ChuRChIll is working as an assistant professor and director of engineering and
society with McMaster University, Canada. He obtained his BEng. degree and MASc. degree from McMaster
University. Churchill’s research interests are project design and management as well as infrastructure
sustainability.

RuNXIAO ZhANG is a postdoctoral research fellow in University of Toronto. He holds BEng. degree
and MEng. degree from Beihang University in China and Ph.D. degree from University of Toronto in Canada.
Zhang’s research activities are focused on the sustainable construction materials and the durability of cement-
based materials.
