AMOD DIXIT Dr. Amod Dixit is executive director, National Society for Earthquake Technology – Nepal (NSET). Dr. Dixit studied Mineral exploration in the National Mineral Resources University, formerly known as the Leningrad Mining Institute (St. Petersburg, Russia), Geotechnical Engineering in the Asian Institute of Technology (Bangkok), Management in the Graduate School of Business, Stanford, and obtained his Doctor of Engineering at the Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Ehime University, Japan. His professional experience spanning 42 years covers stints with government of Nepal, private engineering consultancy, and also as a visiting professor of engineering geology and disaster risk management respectively with Tribhuwan University and Kathmandu University. In 1994, he founded the National Society for Earthquake Technology Nepal (NSET), and has since served as its General Secretary and Executive Director. He has worked extensively in Nepal and many Asian countries for disaster risk reduction and also for earthquake response. Dr. Dixit sits as a Member of the Governing Earthquake Disaster Reduction for buildings SS15 Board of the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) –a global collaborative effort with the aim to provide organizations and people with tools and resources for transparent assessment of earthquake risk anywhere in the world. He also sits as a Member of Management Board of the Asian Disaster Reduction and Response Network (ADRRN) of which he is a founder Member. Dr. Dixit is the recipient of Praval Janaseva Shree, Disaster Mitigation Award 2009 (Government of India), Distinguished AITAA Award 2006 (Asian Institute of Technology Alumni Award), RONAST Science and Technology Promotion Award 2005; Daivi Prakop Piditoddhar Padak (Disaster Management Award of Nepal) two times in 1997 and in 1999, and the WSSI Fellowship for 2000-2003, an award from the World Seismic Safety Initiative (WSSI), an undertaking of the International Association of Earthquake Engineering (IAEE). Dr. Dixit was inducted as a member of Technical Advisory Group of Global Disaster Preparedness Center (GDPC) of American Red Cross in 2014. MS. ANAL SHETH Assistant Professor, FT Anal Sheth is Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Technology.
