Siavouche Nemat-Nasser

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Siavouche Nemat-Nasser , called Sia, (born April 14, 1936 in Tehran ) is an American engineering scientist.

Nemat-Nasser graduated from Sacramento State College with a bachelor's degree in 1960 and the University of California, Berkeley , with a master's degree in 1961 and a PhD in structural mechanics in 1964. He was a post-doctoral student at Northwestern University and from 1966 Assistant Professor and from 1969 Associate Professor at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). In 1970 he became professor of civil engineering and applied mathematics at Northwestern University and from 1985 he was again professor at UCSD. There he is director of the Center of Excellence for Advanced Materials.

He dealt in particular with the material behavior of ceramics, geomaterials, rock, high-strength alloys, composite materials and developed composite materials made of ceramics, metals and polymers that are high-strength but light. For example, he tested and developed such materials for room laboratories that have to be protected against micrometeorites and composites made of ionic polymers and metals form the materials with memory.

In 1972/73 he was visiting professor at the Technical University of Denmark.

In 2008 he received the Timoshenko Medal and in 2008 the Von Karman Medal . He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering
