Industry veteran Mark Hindsbo will discuss how this new
paradigm is reshaping engineering, from the classroom to the
workplace
Presenter Biography: Mark Hindsbo is the
Vice President and General Manager of the
Design Business Unit at ANSYS, on a mission
to deliver “simulation for every engineer
and every product.” He has a broad set of
business and technical experiences across
sales, marketing, business strategy, software development,
and physics. Mark originally joined ANSYS as the Vice
President of Marketing in June 2015. Prior to ANSYS, he was
most recently the Sr. Vice President of Customer Success at
Parallels. He spent over 10 years at Microsoft in roles ranging
from General Manager in the Server and Tools business group,
to Vice President of the Developer business in the US. Prior to
this, he was at The Boston Consulting Group, co-founded a
digital agency, and did scientific computing at Novo Nordisk.
He holds a Master of Science from the Technical University of
Denmark and has done nuclear research at CERN.
NSF-CMMI Overview and Outreach Panel
8:00am–9:45am of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, Division of
Room 411, David L. Lawrence Convention Center
In the first part of this panel, an overview of the Civil,
Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI) division will
be provided with emphasis on recent changes in organizational
structure as well as funding opportunities, e.g., the new no-
deadline rule. Relevant core programs from the Advanced
Manufacturing Cluster, the Mechanics & Engineering Materials
Cluster, and the Resilient and Sustainable Infrastructures
Cluster will also be highlighted. In the second part of the panel,
the floor will then be opened to participants to address
program directors representing these clusters.
2018 IMECE Feedback Session
10:00am–11:00am
Room 408, David L. Lawrence Convention Center
NSF One-on One Meetings
10:00am–5:30pm
NSF one-on-one meeting are arranged by appointment. For
schedule changes and cancellations, please go to the Meeting
Information desk on the third floor of the David L. Lawrence
Convention Center.
NSF Proposal Development Workshop
10:15am–12:15pm
Room 411, David L. Lawrence Convention Center
In this workshop, the fundamentals of successful grant
proposal writing for the National Science Foundation (NSF) will
be covered. Participants will learn about key topics, including
the components of a successful proposal and finding the right
home for the research. Critical aspects of the merit review
process, funding profiles, and NSF programs, solicitations, and
other opportunities will be presented. This workshop is geared
toward early career investigators at U.S. institutions seeking to
understand the NSF merit review process, but the information
provided will be valuable to principal investigators in any stage
of their career seeking to learn more about proposal writing
and NSF funding opportunities.
Robert Henry Thurston Lecture
11:00am–12:00pm
Room 410, David L. Lawrence Convention Center
Title: Dynamic Behavior of Materials at High-Strain Rates
and High-Pressures
Thurston Lecture Award to Guruswami (Ravi) Ravichandran for
pioneering contributions to dynamic behavior of materials and
development of novel experimental methods.
Dr. Guruswami Ravichandran, John E. Goode, Jr., Professor
Engineering and Applied Science California Institute of
Technology
Guruswami (Ravi) Ravichandran is the
John E. Goode, Jr., Professor of Aerospace
and Mechanical Engineering and the Otis
Booth Leadership Chair of the Division of
Engineering and Applied Science at the
California Institute of Technology. He received
his B.E. (Honors) in Mechanical Engineering from the University
of Madras and his Sc.M. in Engineering and Applied
Mathematics and Ph.D. in Engineering (Solid Mechanics and
Structures) from Brown University. He has held visiting scholar
appointments at Ecole Polytechnique, France (CNRS Senior
Scientist), Tokyo Institute of Technology (Chair in International
Cooperation), and Indian Institute of Science (Aditya Birla
Chair). He is a member of the National Academy of
Engineering, Academia Europea, and European Academy of
Sciences and Arts. He is a Fellow of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers (ASME), Society for Experimental
Mechanics (SEM), and American Academy of Mechanics
(AAM). He was named Chevalier de l'ordre des Palmes
Academiques by the Republic of France. His awards include
A.C. Eringen Medal from the Society of Engineering Science,
Warner T. Koiter Medal from ASME, and William M. Murray
Lecture Award from SEM. His research interests include
mechanics of materials (deformation, damage, and failure),
dynamic behavior, wave propagation, composites, active
materials, micro-/nanomechanics, biomaterials and cell
mechanics, and experimental methods.
Title: Dynamic Behavior of Materials at High-Strain Rates xxix
and High Pressures
Impact, blast, and other dynamic loading events are of
significance in numerous engineering applications ranging from
aerospace to automotive to defense to security to space.
