Biography:
Dimitris C. Lagoudas currently serves as the Associate Vice Chancellor for Engineering Researchfor the Texas A&M University System and as the Deputy Director of Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES), a Texas State Agency under the Texas A&M University System. He is also the Senior Associate Dean for Research for the College of Engineering and a Distinguished University Professor at Texas A&M University.Heserved as Department Head of Aerospace Engineering, the inaugural Chair of the Materials Science and Engineering graduate program and also as an Associate Vice President for Research at Texas A&M University. He directed two TEES research centers, one on composite materials and the second one on multifunctional materials and structures. Lagoudas’ research focuses onthe design, characterization and modeling of multifunctional material systems at nano, micro and macrolevels. His research team is one of the most recognized internationally in the area of modeling and characterization of shape memory alloys. He has co-authored more than 500 scientific publications in archival journals and conference proceedings andone of the widely used books on shape memory alloys. Hereceived the 2006 ASME Adaptive Structures and Material Systems Prize and he is the 2011 recipient of the SPIE Smart Structure and Materials Lifetime Achievement Award. He is a Fellow of AIAA, ASME, IOP and SES and was named a University Distinguished Professor at Texas A&M University in 2013.
