Benson H. Tongue, Ph.D. is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at University of California-Berkeley. He received his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1988, and Currently teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in dynamics vibrations, and control theory. His research concentrates on the modeling and analysis of nonlinear dynamical systems and the control of both structural and acoustic systems. This work involves experimental, theoretical, and numerical analysis and has been directed toward helicopters, computer disk drives, robotic manipulators, and general structural systems. Most recently, he has been involved in a multidisciplinary stud of automated highways and has directed research aimed at understanding the nonlinear behavior of vehicles traveling in platoons and in devising controllers that optimize the platoon's behavior in the face of non-nominal operating conditions. His most recent research has involved in the active control of loudspeakers and biomechanical analysis of human fall dynamics.
Dr. Tongue is the author of Principles of Vibration, a senior/first-year graduate-level textbook. He has served as Associate Technical Editor of the ASME Journal of Vibration and Acoustics and is currently a member of the ASME Committee on Dynamics of Structures and Systems. He is the recipient of the NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award, the Sigma Xi Junior Faculty award, and the Pi Tau Sigma Excellence in Teaching award. He serves as a reviewer for numerous journals and funding agencies and is the author of more than sixty publications.

Daniel T. Kawano, is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Indiana. He received his B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo in 2006. He obtained his M.S. (2008) and Ph.D. (2011) degrees in Mechanical Engineering, with a focus in dynamical systems, from the University of California, Berkeley. Daniel currently teaches primarily undergraduate courses in vibration, programming, dynamics, and system dynamics. His research and academic interests include modeling, analysis, simulation, and testing of dynamical systems; design of dynamic structures; linear vibratory theory and its applications; numerical solution of differential and differential-algebraic equations; and pedagogy in engineering education. Daniel serves as the faculty advisor for Rose-Hulman's Formula SAE competition team, Rose Grand Prix Engineering. In his spare time, Daniel enjoys reading, listening to music, shooting sports, and spending time outdoors.

班森·H·唐（Benson H. Tongue），博士，是加州大學伯克利分校的機械工程教授。他於1988年在普林斯頓大學獲得博士學位，目前教授研究生和本科生的動力學、振動學和控制理論課程。他的研究專注於非線性動態系統的建模與分析，以及結構和聲學系統的控制。這項工作涉及實驗、理論和數值分析，並針對直升機、計算機磁碟驅動器、機器人操作器和一般結構系統進行。最近，他參與了一項多學科的自動化高速公路研究，並指導研究以理解在車隊中行駛的車輛的非線性行為，並設計控制器以優化車隊在非正常操作條件下的行為。他最近的研究涉及揚聲器的主動控制和人類跌倒動力學的生物力學分析。
唐博士是《振動原理》（Principles of Vibration）一書的作者，這是一本針對高年級/研究生的教科書。他曾擔任《美國機械工程師學會振動與聲學期刊》（ASME Journal of Vibration and Acoustics）的副技術編輯，並目前是美國機械工程師學會結構與系統動力學委員會的成員。他是國家科學基金會總統青年研究者獎、Sigma Xi年輕教職員獎和Pi Tau Sigma教學卓越獎的獲得者。他擔任多個期刊和資助機構的審稿人，並發表了六十多篇論文。
