==About==
Kenji Ishihara, past president, ISSMGE, obtained his PhD. in 1963. From 1966 to 1967, he was a Visiting Research Associate at the University of Illinois in Urbana U.S.A. working under the advise of Professor P.B. Peck. He has been affiliated with the University of Tokyo since then, taking the post of professorship in geotechnical engineering for the period of 1977-1995. He has been Professor of Civil Engineering at Science University of Tokyo since 1995. He also teaches now at the Chuo University in Tokyo.

He served as secretary of the ISSMFE Japanese National Committee between 1970 and 1976 and acted as Vice-President of Asian region of ISSMFE in 1989-1993. He acted as chairman of TC4 in ISSMGE between the periods of 1985-1994. He took the office as President of ISSMGE for the period of 1997-2001.

His major research interest covers problems in the soil dynamics in earthquakes, including Liquefaction, and seismic stability of slopes and earth structures.

Professor Ishihara has served on various occasions as consultant or adviser to UNESCO projects (Balkan region, India) and UNDP projects (Chile, India, Iran). He has participated in the geotechnical investigations of recent earthquakes worldwide such as those in Romania (1977), Yugoslavia (1979), Chile (1985), Mexico (1985), Ecuador (1986), Armenia (1988), Tajikistan (1989), Philippines (1991) and Iran (1991). He is the author of a book "Fundamentals of Soil Dynamic" (1974) and text book "Soil Mechanics" (1988) both in Japanese, and has recently published through Oxford Press an English book entitled "Soil Behaviour in Earthquake Geotechnics." 

He has been honoured with the 33rd Rankine Lecture of the British Geotechnical Society in 1993, the Terzaghi oration in 1997 at 14th ICSMGE in Hamburg, the 3rd H.B. Seed Medal of ASCE in 1998 and the Japan Academy Prize in 2000. [http://campus.umr.edu/earthquake/5thCHConf/speakers/ishihara.htm]
