Biographical Sketch
J. Tinsley Oden is world renowned for his contributions in establishing and developing the field of computational mechanics, which applies mechanics, mathematics, and computer science to create computer models of the physical world. Such simulations are used in fields as diverse as medicine, material engineering, energy exploration, and climate science. As the Director of the Institute of Computational Engineering and Sciences, Dr. Oden's current research is in multi-scale "adaptive" modelling, with a focus on semiconductor modelling and cancer treatment. For his scientific contributions, Dr. Oden was awarded the Theodore von Karman Medal of American Society for Civil Engineers in Engineering Mechanics in 1992, the John von Neumann Medal of U.S. Association for Computational Mechanics in 1993, the Newton-Gauss Congress Medal of International Association for Computational Mechanics in 1994, and The Stephen P. Timoshenko Medal of American Society of Mechanical Engineers in Applied Mechanics in 1996, among others.
