Dr. Gaohui Wang (1986-) is an Associate Professor of Wuhan University, whose primary research involves studying the seismic safety evaluation and antiknock assessment of high concrete dams. Now, he is undertaking two research projects supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and China Postdoctoral Science Foundation, respectively, and participating in the NSFC programs, the Tianjin Research Program of Application Foundation and Advanced Technology and the Open Foundation of SKL. He has also taken part in a number of transverse projects of hydro-engineering project including Guandi, Jinping Huangdeng, and so on. Up to now, Dr. Wang has published more than 90 academic papers. Among them, 45 and 39 papers are tagged by SCI and EI, respectively. He also won the Scholarship Award for Excellent Doctoral Student granted by the Ministry of Education in 2012.

Wenbo Lu (1968-) is currently a Professor of Wuhan University and has actively worked in the area ofblasting and rock dynamics, water conservancy, and hydropower project construction technology. He is a chang-jiang scholar and received Distinguished Young Scholar funds of NSFC. Lu is a current member of engineering blasting professional committee of Chinese Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics and rock dynamics committee of Chinese Society for Rock Mechanics and Engineering, a member of engineering blasting professional committee of Chinese Hydraulic Engineering Society, the executive director of China Society of Engineering Blasting committee, and a vice president of engineering blasting committee of Hubei province. His research is sponsored by a variety of resources, such as the Major State Basic Research Development Program of China (973 Program), the Key Program of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and the Technology and Industry for National Defense of China. Lu has over 100 publications on top-tier journals and internationally recognized conference
