Professor Brian Cherry has been active in corrosion research and consulting, for more than 40 years. The author/co-author of over 140 refereed publications, his book Corrosion in Australia led to the establishment of the Corrosion Prevention Centre. Previously Professor and Associate Dean (Research and Development) of the Faculty of Engineering at Monash University, he retired in 1997 to join the University’s Centre for Advanced Materials Technology (CAMT) in order to promote research and consulting in the fields of corrosion and durability. His special interests include corrosion prevention in reinforced concrete structures, corrosion inhibitors, polymer degradation and the role of corrosion in mechanical failure.

Zita Lourenco has a PhD in Corrosion and Cathodic Protection of Reinforced Concrete Structures, completed at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. Since 1990, involved in the investigation, design and installation of various cathodic protection systems of civil structures and utilities.
In 2001 she started ZetaCorr Lda, a corrosion control company in Portugal. Since then, she has been responsible for the development of the corrosion control business of the company and she has also been responsible for corrosion studies, CP specifications, designs and installations of steel and concrete structures. She has designed, supervised the installation and monitored many cathodic prevention system to new concrete structures.
Zita has published a number of technical papers in corrosion and protection of reinforced concrete structures.

Kevin is a Life Member of the Concrete Institute of Australia and a Committee Member of the Road Engineering Association of Asia and Australasia.
He commenced his professional career working on the design and construction of rural bridges and was a Regional Manager of the Cement and Concrete Association of Australia for 28 years.
For many years Kevin has studied the performance of timber, concrete and steel and the introduction of new materials and concepts for the repair of structures. He has written numerous concrete technology publications on durability, precast concrete, shotcreting, formwork, tilt-up and precast concrete.

In 1994 Kevin founded Kevin Campbell Consultants, specialising in Forensic Engineering on buildings and civil engineering structures.

David is on the editorial board of Cement and Concrete Research. He is now a Principal Fellow with the University of Melbourne after some 20 years in CSIRO as a scientist on durability & repair of concrete structures and later as research manager of Construction Materials Program. Between 1998 and 2003, he was invited as an Associate Professor to carry out research in Singapore and Hong Kong. While overseas, he was appointed Director of the Centre for Construction Materials and Technology in the University of Singapore.

David published some 80 technical papers on concrete durability, coatings, sustainable use of materials, and self-compacting concrete.
