Professor David Barnett of Stanford University will receive the A.C. Eringen Medal from the Society of Engineering Science (SES). The prize is awarded in recognition of sustained outstanding achievements in Engineering Science. Professor Barnett will receive his award during the 49th Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science to be held at Georgia Institute of Technology from October 9-12, 2012.
Professor Markus J. Buehler of MIT will receive the 2012 SES Young Investigator Medal from the Society of Engineering Science (SES). The prize is awarded to a young researcher in his or her ascendancy whose work has already had an impact in his/her field within Engineering Science. Professor Buehler will receive his award during the 49th Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science to be held at Georgia Institute of Technology from October 9-12, 2012.
The Rodney Hill Prize for 2012 is awarded to Professor Huajian Gao of Brown University, USA.
This prize, which consists of a plaque and a check for $25,000 (twenty-five thousand US Dollars), is to be awarded in recognition of outstanding research in the field of solid mechanics. The prize is to be awarded every 4 years, to coincide with the quadrennial International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (ICTAM). The first prize was awarded at ICTAM 2008 in Adelaide.
ScienceWatch.com (affiliated with Thomson-Reuters), has ranked University of Illinois as the most cited institution in engineering from 1999 to 2009 (http://sciencewatch.com/inter/ins/10/10febTOP20ENG/). It is followed by Berkeley, MIT, Stanford, University of Michigan, and Georgia Tech.
