**Davide Lo Presti**

Dr. Lo Presti is an Assistant Professor and holder of the "Rita Levi Montalcini fellowship 2016" at the University of Palermo (IT) and a Visiting Academic at the University of Nottingham (UK). Dr. Lo Presti's expertise is in engineering sustainability with a focus on transport infrastructure's technology development and asset management. His research is both applied and fundamental and involves investigation of effective techniques for recycling waste and secondary materials into civil engineering applications, as well as investigating smart solutions for a more sustainable management of existing infrastructures rather than for envisioning the future ones. In this area, Dr. Lo Presti has extensive experience in coordinating international and multi-disciplinary projects, has authored more than 70 publications mainly in international scientific journals and He has been involved in training and technology transfer to small companies, as well as big enterprises and association of industries.

## **Emmanuel Chailleux**

Emmanuel Chailleux obtained a Ph.D. in 2000 from the Ecole Centrale de Lyon (France) in polymer science field. Since 2004, he has been in permanent position at IFSTTAR in the pavement department. His current instigations deal with bituminous binder performances, including rheological properties, viscoelastic modelling, ageing, and cracking phenomena. He also conducts researches to develop and characterise alternative binder from biomass. He is the chairman of the RILEM technical committee phase and interphase behaviour of bituminous materials (PIM).

## **Mayca Rubio-G ´amez**

Mayca Rubio-Gamez joined the Universidad de Granada in 1997 and she has been involved in ´ different research activities related to the study of sustainable and smart materials for transportation infrastructures for 24 years. During this period, she has been the author of more than 100 international journal papers and conference proceedings. Nowadays, she is a Full Professor at UGR, head of LabIC.UGR Research Group and Coordinator of the Civil Engineering Doctoral Studies Program. She has strong links with international research centers, industrial partners and organizations, and is involved in the development of technical specifications for HWMA in Spain and technology transfer to industry. She is also involved in different international technical committees such as RILEM, ISAP, EATA and ASEFMA.
