Biography:
Prior to his retirement from full-time work at Washington University in 2006, Barna Szabó served as the Albert P. and Blanche Y. Greensfelder Professor of Mechanics. His primary research interest is assurance of the quality and reliability in numerical simulation of structural and mechanical systems by the finite element method. He is the principal author of two textbooks on the finite element method and he published over 150 papers in refereed technical journals. He is a founding member and Fellow of the US Association for Computational Mechanics. Among his honors are election to the Hungarian Academy of Sciences as External Member and an honorary doctorate. Barna Szabó is co-founder and Chairman of Engineering Software Research and Development, Inc. (ESRD), the company that produces the professional finite element analysis software product StressCheck
