Dr. Daniel is Professor of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics in the Departments of Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering at Northwestern University. Prior to his appointment in 1986, he was Professor and Director of the Mechanics of Materials Laboratory at the Illinois Institute of Technology and Science Advisor at the IIT Research Institute. He attended the National Technical University of Athens, Greece and received B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the Illinois Institute of Technology. His interests and experience encompass all facets of experimental mechanics with special emphasis on the mechanics of composite materials and nondestructive evaluation. He has pioneered test methods for characterization of composite materials. He serves on the editorial boards of Composites and is an Associate Editor of the Journal of Applied Mechanics. He is a Fellow of the Society for Experimental Mechanics and the American Academy of Mechanics. He has received two Hetényi Awards (SEM best papers, 1970 and 1976), an SPI best paper award (1975) , the B. J. Lazan award of the Society for Experimental Mechanics for distinguished contributions in experimental mechanics (1984), and the Distinguished Research Award of the American Society for Composites (1996). He has lectured at home and abroad; is the author of over 200 publications and nine chapters of books; co-author of a monograph entitled "Experimental Mechanics of Fiber Reinforced Composite Materials;" and a textbook entitled "Engineering Mechanics of Composite Materials," and editor of ASTM STP 787, "Composite Materials: Testing and Design." |
