Dr. Vanissorn Vimonsatit | Construction | Best Research Article Award

Macquarie University | Australia

Dr. Vanissorn Vimonsatit is a distinguished structural engineer and researcher with a PhD in Structural Engineering from UNSW, an MEng from AIT, Thailand, and a BEng from Kasetsart University. A member of the Concrete Institute of Australia (CIA) and the American Concrete Institute (ACI), she has over a decade of professional engineering experience and a strong record of leadership in research and industry collaboration. Currently serving as the Community of Practice Manager for Sustainable Concrete, Engineered Solutions, and Asset Management at SmartCrete CRC, Dr. Vimonsatit also holds key international roles, including Director of the Bridge Engineering Institute (USA), Regional Representative for Australasia at ISEC, and Vice President of the ASEA-SEC Conference Series. Her research focuses on multiscale characterization of porous solids, low-carbon concrete development, and the integration of graphene and supplementary cementitious materials to enhance performance and sustainability. She has successfully led ARC-funded projects and multiple industry collaborations that have translated laboratory innovations—such as graphene-enhanced and mine tailing-based concretes-into pilot-scale demonstrations and commercial guidelines. A recipient of the CSIRO ON Prime Performance Award (2017), she has been instrumental in bridging the gap between research and practice, guiding projects from innovation to industrial adoption. As Lead Entrepreneur, she applies her expertise in stakeholder engagement, market validation, and technology transfer to advance sustainable, high-performance concrete solutions for the global construction industry.

Prof. Anna Crisci | Statistics | Best Research Article Award

University of Naples Federico II | Italy

Prof. Anna Crisci is a Research Associate in Statistics at the Department of Economics, Management, and Institutions of the University of Naples Federico II. She earned her PhD in Economics in 2011 at the Second University of Naples (now the University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli”), with a dissertation on estimation methods for structural equation models applied to innovation performance in manufacturing firms. Over the years, she has built extensive teaching experience in statistics and market research across leading Italian universities, including Federico II University of Naples, the University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli,” and Pegaso Telematic University, delivering both core and supplementary courses at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. She has been actively engaged in organizing and chairing sessions at prestigious international conferences, serving on scientific and organizing committees such as CLADAG 2025, ENBIS 2017, and IRSYSC 2019. Her research contributions and expertise have been recognized with the National Scientific Qualification for Associate Professor (13/D1 – Statistics), editorial board memberships for journals such as Mathematical and Computational Applications (MDPI) and Journal of Applied Quantitative Methods, and guest editorship of special issues on advanced numerical methods. A committed reviewer for high-impact journals including SEPS, Quality & Quantity, and Social Indicators Research, she is also an active member of the Italian Statistical Society and its “Statistics for the Evaluation and Quality of Services” research group. Prof. Crisci’s scholarly activity reflects a strong commitment to advancing statistical methodologies for applied research in economics, management, and social sciences.
