"This award is given to Engineering Mechanics graduate students with outstanding academic records and who have demonstrated strong leadership potential and commitment to professional or community service. Based on his impressive accomplishments a committee selected Mohammad to receive this award from among 7 strong nominations. The Engineering Mechanics program is proud of what he has accomplished thus far and looks forward to what more he will accomplish in the future as an alumnus of the program." Great job Mohammad, we are very proud of your well deserved accolades and honors. |
Work hard means playing hard as well. The team is under a lot of work/stress and needed some time off for some fun. Thanks to the Christiansburg's awesome frisbee golf course we got the chance for some much needed time off and some fun. The team has been very productive with journals, conference papers and defenses! What am awesome team. Great job all!
The one and only Gilbert Strang visits VTSIL and VAST. Gil gave the inaugural talk to the Distinguished Lecture & Celebration of Virginia Tech's Computational Modeling and Data Analytics (CMDA) Degree. For those of you that don't know who Dr. Strang is I recommend you visits his homepage, books and online courses. Here is avery brief bio from the program : Gilbert Strang, Professor of Mathematics at MIT, is renowned for fundamental contributions to Finite element methods, wavelets, applied mathematics, and linear algebra. His articles, books, and videos have changed the way we think about these fields, and inspired countless scientists and engineers. Below a few more pictures with Dr. Mark Embree who hosted Dr. Strang. President Sands tweets about our upcoming AFOSR grant on Adaptive Structural Vibrations for Multifaceted Motivity. Thanks President Sands (to bad we don't have a tweet account to thank him directly). Dr. Tarazaga is one of 57 scientist to receive the Young Investigator Award this year from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR). His work entitled "Adaptive Structural Vibrations for Multifaceted Motivity" will sponsor a 3 year research program on traveling waves for multifunctional activities. The award, as stated by the AFOSR, is intended to "... foster creative basic research in science and engineering, enhance early career development of outstanding young investigators, and increase opportunities for the young investigators to recognize the Air Force mission and the related challenges in science and engineering." Dr. Tarazaga is honored by the award and his team is eager to get to work! For more details on the topic please visit Virginia Tech's College of Engineering website here.
