Founder and Chief Scientist
Professor Ghoniem is currently a distinguished professor of Mechanical and Aerospace
Engineering, and is also a professor of materials science & Engineering at UCLA. He obtained a Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Wisconsin in 1977. His experience is in the development, through modeling and experiments, of structural materials in the severe nuclear, Mechanical, and Aerospace environments. He is fellow of the American Nuclear Society, the American Academy of Mechanics, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Japan Society for Promotion of Science, and the Materials Research Society. He was the general chair of the Second International Multiscale Materials Modeling Conference in 2004. He was awarded the lifetime achievement awards of the Materials Science and the Fusion Energy Divisions of the American Nuclear Society. He serves on the editorial boards of several journals, and has published over 350 articles (280 refereed journal articles), 10 edited books, and is the co-author of a two-volume book (Oxford Press) on the mechanics and physics of defects, computational materials science, radiation interaction with materials, instabilities and self-organization in nonequilibrium materials (Nasr Ghoniem and Daniel Walgraef, “Instabilities and Self-Organization in Materials: Part I-Fundamentals of Nanoscience, and Part II-Applications in Materials Design and Nanotechnology,”Oxford Press, 2007, 1100 pages.)
His research has been cited ~ 7000 times on Google Scholar.
He graduated over 100 MS students, 35 Ph.D. students and 34 post-doctoral scholars (14 are currently in faculty positions in the US and around the world).
