Çağlar Oskay, chair of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Cornelius Vanderbilt Professor of Engineering, has been selected as a fellow of the U.S. Association for Computational Mechanics.
Oskay, who heads the Multiscale Computational Mechanics Laboratory (MCML), is being recognized “for significant contributions to the field of multiscale computational mechanics of composites and polycrystalline materials.”
The award was presented at the 18th U.S. National Congress on Computational Mechanics held July 20-24 in Chicago, Illinois.
“I am humbled and thrilled to be recognized by the primary association of the computational mechanics community with this fellow award,” Oskay said. “I have been a part of this community for more than two decades, and I look forward to contributing to the advancement of computational mechanics in years to come.”
A faculty member at Vanderbilt University since 2006, Oskay is also professor of civil and environmental engineering and mechanical engineering. His primary research focus is on multiscale computational modeling and simulation of material and structure systems subjected to extreme environments and loading conditions.
In 2023, Oskay delivered the keynote lecture in the minisymposium entitled “Advances in Modeling and Simulation of Material Damage and Failure” at the 17th U.S. National Congress on Computational Mechanics held in Albuquerque, NM. The title of the lecture was “A New Finite Strain Reduced Order Multiscale Formulation for Polycrystalline Materials.”
