Charles R Farrar, Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico, USA is currently the director of The Engineering Institute at LANL. His research interests focus on developing integrated hardware and software solutions to structural health monitoring problems and the development of damage prognosis technology. The results of this research have been documented in 50 refereed journal articles, 14 book chapters, more than 100 conference papers, 31 Los Alamos Reports and numerous keynote lectures at international conferences. In 2000 he founded the Los Alamos Dynamics Summer School. His has recently received the inaugural Los Alamos Fellows Prize for Technical Leadership and the inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award in Structural Health Monitoring. He is currently working with engineering faculty at University of California, San Diego to develop the Los Alamos/UCSD Engineering Institute and Education Initiative with a research focus on Damage Prognosis. He is associate editor for the Int. Journal of Structural Health Monitoring and Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics . Keith Worden, University of Sheffield, UK is Head of the Dynamics Research Group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Sheffield. His research interests lie in the applications of advanced signal processing and machine learning methods to structural dynamics. He has authored over 400 research publications including two co-authored books on nonlinear structural dynamics and nonlinear system identification, two book chapters and over 130 refereed journal papers. He serves on the editorial boards of 2 international journals: Journal of Sound and Vibration and Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing . He was awarded "2004 Person of the Year" (jointly with W.J. Staszewski) awarded by Structural Health Monitoring journal for outstanding contribution in the field. See less
