Professor Graeme Milton will be awarded the 2007 Prager medal from the Society of Engineering Science for his work on solid mechanics. The medal will be handed out at the 44th Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science (SES2007) to be held between October 21 and 24, 2007 at College Station, Texas.
Professor Milton has done pioneering work on rigorous bounds and homogenization of solid composites, cross property correlations, and more recently on cloaking in elasticity and electromagnetism. There will be a Graeme Milton symposium in SES 2007 where several aspects of Professor Milton's work will be discussed. Professor Milton is also the recipient of several awards including the 2003 Ralph E. Kleinman Prize from SIAM for his contributions in bridging mathematics and applications .
