Dr. Jacob Fish
The Rosalind and John J. Redfern, Jr. '33 Chaired Professor in Engineering
Director, Multiscale Science and Engineering Center at Rensselaer
Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Multiscale Computational Engineering
With over twenty years of academia and industry experience in the field of multiscale computational engineering,
Dr. Jacob Fish has published over one hundred journal articles and book chapters, and is a recipient of the 2005 United States Association for Computational Mechanics (USACM) Computational Structural Mechanics Award given "in recognition of outstanding and sustained contributions to the broad field of Computational Structural Mechanics."
Dr. Fish is a Fellow of both the USACM and the International Association for Computational Mechanics (IACM). He is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Multiscale Computational Engineering, as well as an Editorial Board Member for the International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, the International Journal for Computational Methods in Engineering Science and Mechanics, and Computational Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering.
For his "significant contributions to computational science and engineering," he received the 2003 Rensselaer School of Engineering Research Award at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he currently serves as The Rosalind and John J. Redfern, Jr. '33 Chaired Professor in Engineering and the Director of the Multiscale Science and Engineering Center.
Dr. Fish is a former President of the USACM, a former member of the National Research Council for Air and Ground Vehicle Technology, and currently serves on the IUTAM Working Party on Computational Fluid and Solid Mechanics.
In the past, Dr. Fish has served as the Associate Editor of the Journal of Engineering Mechanics, the Editor of the Bulletin of the United States Association for Computational Mechanics, and has chaired the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Computational Mechanics committee. Further, Dr. Fish has received an NSF Young Investigator Award, a NASA Langley research grant related to High Speed Civil Transport (HSCT), contracts from Lockheed Missiles and Space Co., Sikorski, ALCOA, Northrop-Grumman, GE and Rolls-Royce on various aspects of structural integrity, and AFOSR, ONR, ARO, SANDIA and DARPA grants for the development of multiscale computational techniques.
