Ghosh named 2007 AAAS Fellow
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) has announced this year's fellows and Somnath Ghosh, John B. Nordholt professor in mechanical engineering, is a 2007 recipient in engineering.
AAAS selected Ghosh for outstanding contributions to computational micromechanics, multi-scale modeling of structure-material interaction and research in failure analysis for reliability predictions. Ghosh has also sustained ambassadorship across mechanics and materials communities.
In July, Ghosh was named a Fellow of the US Association of Computational Mechanics (USACM). Along with that recognition, USACM has also selected him to organize the 2009 US National Congress of Computational Mechanics in Columbus, Ohio.
An international leader in the field of multiple-scale computational modeling of behavior and failure of heterogeneous materials, Ghosh has made pioneering contributions to the field of integrated experimental-computational modeling of composite materials and polycrystalline materials. He has made innovative and new advances in computational mechanics related to these fields.
