It gives me great pleasure to announce the outcome of the inaugural competition for the Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty. This award, created in 2012, will be annually given to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. The selection committee consisted of: K. Ravi-chandar (UT Austin), Huajian Gao (Brown University), Kaushik Bhattacharya (Caltech), Roger Fosdick (Minnesota University), and Yonggang Huang (Northwestern University).


The selection committee received several high quality nominations. This year, the award will be given jointly to Professors Vicky Nguyen (Johns Hopkins University) and Kaushik Dayal (Carnegie-Mellon University). Each of them will be given a cash-award of $ 1500 and a commemorative plaque.
