Biography:
Bogdanovich received his MS in physics from Latvian State University in Riga, Latvia, in 1972 and his PhD in solid mechanics from the Latvian Academy of Sciences, also in Riga, in 1975. Prior to his present employment with NC State, which began in July 2011, Bogdanovich was vice president for research and development at 3TEX, Inc., which is located in Cary, NC. He held this position from 1998 to 2011. Bogdanovich was a senior research scientist in AdTech Systems Research, Inc. in Dayton, Ohio, from 1995 to 1998 and a research associate professor with NC State from 1991 to 1995. He also held positions of increasing responsibility at the Institute of Polymer Mechanics at the Latvian Academy of Sciences. He was a junior research scientist from 1975 to 1978, a senior research scientist from 1978 to 1986, and a deputy director for research from 1986 to 1990.

Bogdanovich has received numerous awards and recognition for his research work. He placed first in the Outstanding Paper Awards category at the Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering conferences in 2003 and 2006 and received the Friedrich Tsander Memorial Award for Best Research in Physico-Mathematical and Technical Sciences from the Latvian Academy of Sciences in 1987.

Presently he studies three-dimensional fabric preforms and their composites and carbon nanotube textiles and their composites. He also develops and applies multi-scale computational modeling and 3D analysis methods for predicting static, dynamic, damage and fracture properties and the behavior of composite materials and structures.
