Also: Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island
Professional Highlights:
After earning Bachelors and Masters degrees at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1964 and 1965, respectively, Freund earned his Ph.D. degree from Northwestern University in 1967 in the program on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics. Thereafter, he served on the Faculty of the Division of Engineering at Brown University until 2010, including a term as Chair of the Engineering Executive Committee. During this period, he has also held visiting appointments at Harvard University, twice at Stanford University, University of California at Berkeley, twice at the California Institute of Technology and the University of Illinois. He is currently the H. L. Goddard University Professor (emeritus) at Brown University. Dr. Freund is the author or co-author of approximately 230 published articles on stress waves in solids, fracture mechanics, seismology, dislocation theory, mechanics of thin films, microstructure evolution in films, bio-adhesion and engineering education, plus monographs on Dynamic Fracture Mechanics (Cambridge University Press, 1990; paperback, 1998) and, with S. Suresh, on Thin Film Materials (Cambridge University Press, 2003; paperback, 2009. A Chinese language translation has also appeared (Science Press, Beijing, 2006).
