Ford Professor of Engineering, Head of Mechanical Engineering Department
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts
Biographical Sketch:
Professor Mary C. Boyce is the Ford Professor of Engineering and Department Head of Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Professor Boyce earned her B.S. degree in Engineering Science and Mechanics from Virginia Tech; and her S.M. and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She joined the M.I.T. faculty in 1987. Professor Boyce teaches in the areas of mechanics and materials. Her research areas focus primarily on the mechanics of elastomers, polymers, polymeric-based micro- and nano-composite materials, lattice- structured materials, natural materials, and biological macromolecular networks, with emphasis on identifying connections among microstructure, deformation mechanisms, and mechanical properties. She has published over 100 journal papers in the field of mechanics and materials; and has mentored 36 SM Thesis students and 20 PhD students. Professor Boyce has been the recipient of several awards and honors recognizing her research and teaching efforts, including the MIT MacVicar Faculty Fellow, the Department of Mechanical Engineering Keenan Award for Teaching, the Spira Award for Teaching, the NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award, the ASME Applied Mechanics Young Investigator Award, Member-at-Large of the USNCTAM, Chair of the ASME Applied Mechanics Division, Fellow of the American Academy of Mechanics, Fellow of the ASME, Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and Member of the National Academy of Engineering.
Publications:
Professor Boyce, together with her research group and collaborators, has published over 150 peer-reviewed archival journal publications; over 60 conference proceedings papers, and is a co- inventor on four issued and several pending U.S. Patents.
