Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾

Research focuses on dynamics and vibrations, with emphasis on probabilistic, nonlinear, and signal-processing aspects and has applications to structural engineering, aerospace engineering, offshore engineering, bio-mechanics, and composite materials. Developed novel analytical/numerical techniques for diverse dynamical systems/phenomena and wrote three texts that are considered standards in the field. Served as editor-in-chief for two noted journals in the field of mechanics. Fellow, American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), American Society of Mechanical Engineering, the American Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ of Mechanics, and the Alexander von Humboldt Association. Recipient, Theodore Von Karman Medal of the ASCE for lifetime contributions to the field of engineering mechanics (2003), ASME, and the Alexander Von Humboldt Foundation in Germany. Corresponding member of the Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ of Athens (National Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ of Greece), member of the National Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ of Engineering (USA), and a foreign member (fellow) of the Indian Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ of Engineering and the Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ of Europe (Academiae Europaea).
