Authors

• Sung W. Lee, University of Maryland, College Park

  Prof. Sung W. Lee received his Ph.D. degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is currently Professor of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Maryland where he taught courses on the finite element methods and carried out numerous sponsored researches on the finite element modeling of solids and structures. He had served on the editorial advisory boards of such international journals as Computational Mechanics, International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, and Computer Modeling in Engineering and Sciences. He received a lifetime achievement award for his work on computational analysis of shell structures at the 2015 International Conference on Computational and Experimental Engineering and Sciences.

• Peter W. Chung, University of Maryland, College Park

  Peter W. Chung's research has been concerned mainly with the computability of interdisciplinary and multiscale problems with applications motivated primarily by his early career experiences in the US Army Research Laboratory. He is currently Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maryland. Through his time in both government and academic sectors, Professor Chung has had the privilege of conducting research as well as participating in significant policy-shaping activities including service to the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) and the Army Materiel Command Logistics Transformation Task Force. He is recipient of the Superior Civilian Service Award, the second highest civilian award in the Department of the Army.
