Prof. Dr. Lin Zhao graduated as an Industrial and Civil Architecture Major from Shenyang Jianzhu University with a bachelor's degree in 1996 and from the Institute of Engineering Mechanics of the China Seismic Bureau and Tongji University with a master's and doctor's degree in 2000 and 2003, respectively. His majors are structural wind engineering and bridge engineering. He engages in the study of the wind-resistance performance of long-span bridges and high-rise buildings, presided over five national natural science fund projects, ran a total of four major technology special sub-projects for the Ministry of Science and Technology, basic research projects of the National Key Laboratory for the  Ministry of Science and Technology, basic scientific research pre-research projects for colleges and universities, and applied basic research projects from the Ministry of Transport. He has participated in 10 other national scientific research programs and presided over or completed more than 30 investigations on wind resistance performance in national key projects such as large-span bridges, large cooling towers, etc., as the main participant.

Prof. Dr. Yaojun Ge is a professor and doctoral tutor at Tongji University and is a director of the State Key Laboratory of Civil Engineering Disaster Prevention. He graduated from Tongji University with a Bachelor's degree in Urban Roads and Bridges in 1983. At the same university, he obtained his Master's degree in Structural Engineering and his Ph.D. in Bridge and Tunnel Engineering in 1986 and 1997, respectively. He has engaged in the teaching, research, and engineering application of bridge engineering, wind vibration reliability analysis, the flutter refinement numerical analysis method, the large-span bridge wind-resistant design method and its application, the sustainable design method of the bridge structure, and construction control. He presided over the completion of the 973 Program (as Chief Scientist), the 863 Project, and the Science and Technology Support Project; presided over the completion for the National Natural Science Foundation of China of 3 key projects, 1 major international cooperation project, and 2 projects. More than 40 major bridge application research projects at home and abroad have been completed.

Prof. Dong has engaged in talent cultivation, scientific research, and social service in civil engineering for more than 30 years. He has supervised more than 100 doctoral and master's students, published more than 150 journal articles, and hosted or participated in more than 60 research projects in the fields of theory and application of steel structures, seismic and wind resistance of engineering structures.

Dr. Peng has been engaged in basic research on the application of steel structures for many years. He has focused on comprehensively improving the performance of steel structures and carried out fatigue damage cohesive zone models for welded joints, micromechanical performance testing methods for welded joints, on-site rapid detection methods for residual stresses in welded joints, anti-slip connections for high-strength bolts in stainless steel structures, fatigue performance, and design methods for welded joints in stainless steel structures. He has published over 30 journal articles.
