Doctor of Sciences (Engineering), Professor, Academician Mikayel G. Melkumyan (born on June 10, 1951) started his scientific and practical activity in 1973, immediately after graduation from the Civil Engineering Department of Yerevan Polytechnic Institute, carrying out both design and experimental-theoretical research works to study the behavior of various reinforced concrete structures under seismic actions. In 1983 he led the Department of Earthquake Resistant Construction at the Armenian Scientific-Research Institute of Construction and Architecture. After the Spitak earthquake of December 7, 1988 in Armenia, he carried out the deep analysis of consequences of this and other earthquakes and reasons for extensive destructions of various buildings and structures. His research at the Institute of Industrial Science the University of Tokyo resulted in the “Melkumyan Hysteresis Model”, enhancing the understanding of shear behavior in structures. During a short period of time in 1995-1996, devoting him to the challenge of increasing the earthquake resistance of existing buildings, he developed two unique methods of protecting existing buildings from earthquakes through base isolation, as well as by isolated upper floor and upper slab (roof isolation) without interruption of the use of the buildings. His patented technologies have been extensively implemented in seismic isolation designs for various buildings. During several years starting from 2003 he was developing and implementing a new original approach in applying clusters of small size rubber bearings in isolation systems of seismic isolated buildings. These works are unprecedented in the world practice of earthquake resistant construction of the time. He is the president of the Armenian Association for Earthquake Engineering, CEO of the “Melkumyan Seismic Technologies” LLC, and has served on various international committees and editorial boards. His scientific and engineering works are widely recognized among scientists and engineers of many countries. Of the designed by him seismic isolated buildings, the total number of already constructed and retrofitted buildings has reached to 60, making the number of seismically isolated buildings per capita in Armenia one of the highest in the world (second after Japan). The number of already manufactured in Armenia and tested under his leadership seismic isolators exceeds 5500. He authored and co-authored 260 scientific works, including 21 books (6 monographs). His books were published in Armenia, Russia, Switzerland, Germany, Netherlands, UK, India, and USA. 175 of his scientific works have been published in international journals and proceedings of the World, European, and International Conferences in 36 countries. He has designed 107 earthquake resistant residential, civil, and industrial buildings for construction or retrofitting in different regions of Armenia and of Nagorno Karabakh, Russia, Romania, Peru, Kazakhstan and Turkey. His efforts have significantly advanced seismic engineering, positioning Armenia among the world leaders in this vital field.

Eng. Marzia Ciampittiello works since 2001 at Italian National Council of Research, Water research Institute in Verbania, on Lake Maggiore (North-Wester Italy).The areas of her research concern the hydrology, hydro-morphological aspects of lakes and rivers, climate change and its effects on hydro-morphology and consequently on the quality of aquatic ecosystems and the water resources. She started to deal with climate change within the EUROLIMPACS project in 2005, delving into the aspect of long time series analyses. Subsequently she developed analysis and statistical models for the evaluation of climate change in the Alpine area and its consequences on aquatic ecosystems and natural hazards. Since 2007, she has been the Italian national contact person for the implementation of the Water Framework Directive 2000/60 for the evaluation of the hydro-morphological quality of lakes. In this context she took part in the CEN working group - TC 230/WG 2/TG 5 Water quality for Developing standard method for assessing lake hydromorphology (first standard, 2008-2010) and for Guidance standard on determining the degree of modification of lake hydromorphology (second standard, 2010-2014). Since 2008 to today she has been responsible for various research projects relating to hydromorphological aspects, climate change and water resources, also providing support to regional, provincial and municipal bodies in relation to her research areas through hydrological analysis, analysis of the impact of climate change on the fluctuation of lake levels, assessments of the impacts of the use of water resources on aquatic ecosystems. From October 2022 she is part of a CIS working group (CIS Water Scarcity and Droughts) as an Italian representative. To address the management of water resources taking into account climate change, the quality of aquatic ecosystems and the interrelationships between them, she is deepening the use of system dynamics.
