S. GovindjeeS. Govindjee is the Horace, Dorothy, and Katherine Johnson Endowed Professor in Engineering and a Distinguish Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley (1993–2006, 2008–present). His main interests arein theoretical and computational mechanics with an emphasis on micro-mechanics, shape memory alloys, and elastomers. Prior to joining Berkeley he worked as an engineer at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (1991–1993) in Livermore, California. He was also Professor of Mechanics at ETH Zürich (2006–2008) in Zürich, Switzerland. Dr. Govindjee serves as a consultant to several governmental agencies and private corporations. He is an active member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the US Association for Computational Mechanics (USACM), and the International Association for Computational Mechanics (IACM) and has served or serves on the editorial boards of several major journals. He is also a registered Professional Mechanical Engineer in the state of California. He is the author of four texts books on engineering mechanics. Noteworthy honours include a National Science Foundation Career Award, the inaugural 1998 Zienkiewicz Prize and Medal, an Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Fellowship 1999, a Berkeley Chancellor’s Professorship 2006–2011, and a guest Professorship at ETH Zürich 2008–2013. In 2015 he was named a Fellow of the US Association for Computational Mechanics. In 2018 he received a Humboldt-Forschungspreis (Alexander von Humboldt Research Award). Read More Read Less
