Biography (from Wikipedia):
Satya Atluri is currently a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas Tech University.[1] His research focuses upon the areas of aerospace and mechanics. His teaching and research interests are in the disciplinary areas of: computational mathematics; theoretical, applied, and computational mechanics of solids and fluids at various length and time scales; computer modeling in engineering and sciences; meshless and other novel computational methods; structural longevity, failure prevention, and health management. He received Doctor of Science degrees from MIT (earned, 1969), National University of Ireland (1988, honoris causa), Slovak Academy of Sciences (2005, honoris causa), University of Patras, Greece (2007, honoris causa), and University of Nova Gorica, Slovenia (2009, honoris causa). He has taught at: UCLA (Distinguished Professor); Georgia Tech (Institute Professor, Regents’ Professor of Engineering, and Hightower Chair in Engineering); MIT (JC Hunsaker Professor, 1990-1991); and University of Washington (Assistant Professor). He is Tsing Hua Honorary Chair Professor at the National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan, an Honorary Professor at the University of Patras, Greece, and a World Class University (WCU) Program Distinguished Professor at Pusan National University, Korea. Previously he was an Honorary Professor at Tsinghua University, Beijing, and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology, and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. He is Fellow of American Academy of Mechanics; Fellow of American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics; Fellow of ASME; Honorary Fellow of the International Congress on Fracture, Fellow of the Aeronautical Society of India; Fellow of the Chinese Society of Theoretical & Applied Mechanics, and several other international academic and professional societies. He was elected to membership in the US National Academy of Engineering (1996); the Indian National Academy of Engineering (1997); Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (2003, Trieste), Member, European Academy of Sciences (2002), National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (2008), Academy of Athens 2014 . He is Distinguished Alumnus of the Indian Institute of science, Bangalore. Some notable recognitions he received include those from ASME The Nadai medal 2012 [2] AIAA (the Structures, Structural Dynamics, and Materials Medal; the Pendray Aerospace Literature Medal and the SDM Lecture Award); from the Federal Aviation Administration (“Excellence in Aviation Award”); from the ASCE (the Aerospace Structures and Materials Award); from the Society of Engineering Science (The Eringen Medal); from ICCES ( the "Hilbert Medal" and the "ICCES Gold Medal"); from JSME, Japan (the Computational Mechanics Medal); from the Greek National Association of Computational Mechanics (The Computational Mechanics Medal); from JSPS, Japan (JSPS Fellow, University of Tokyo); from the United States Secretary of Commerce (Distinguished Service Award, the President’s National Medal of Technology Committee); from Georgia Tech (the second annual Distinguished Professor Award in 1986; and twice the annual Outstanding Researcher Awards, in 1991 and 1993). From Sigma Xi (the Sustained Research Award); from the Science Citation Index (one of 100 most highly cited researchers in engineering, 1980–2000); from the National Academy of Engineering (Technical Achievement Award, 1995). He has been a Midwestern Mechanics Lecturer (1989), as well as a Southwestern Mechanics Lecturer (1987). ICCES has established the Satya N. Atluri ICCES Medal in honor of its Founder. In 2013, he was awarded the Padma Bhushan. On 29 April 2014 he is inducted as a Corresponding Member of the Academy of Athens, Greece, the oldest organized scientific and philosophical academy in the history of the modern world.
