He was awarded the JSPS-Research Fellowship, University of Tokyo, Japan, 1989 -1990. He received the Medal of the University of Tokyo in 1989. He was awarded a DFG-Research Fellowship for University of California in the period 1990-1991.
Prof. Schmauder was Co-Editor of the International Journal of Computational Materials Science from 2003 until 2013 and he is Editorial Board member of the Journal of Physical Mesomechanics since 1998. He has distinguished Community and University Services as a member of numerous comities. He was Organizer and Chairmen of 27 International Workshops on Computational Mechanics of Materials and chairman, organizer or member of the organizing committee of more than 10 conferences. He gave more than 180 invited oral presentations at conferences, workshops etc. He authored or co-authored more than 500 papers, 4 book chapters and 3 books.
Prof. Selda Oterkus
Prof. Selda Oterkus joined the department of Naval Architecture, Ocean and Marine Engineering at University of Strathclyde as a lecturer in August 2015. She received her PhD degree from the University of Arizona in mechanical engineering with minor degree in civil engineering and engineering mechanics. She worked both as a research and teaching assistant during her PhD studies. Her research mainly focuses on multi-physics modeling of materials and structures as far as damage and structural failure is concerned. Thus her research interests focuses on computational simulations of damage prediction in structures under various loading conditions such as thermomechanical loading, hygrothermal loading and fluid flow. Dr. Oterkus was a visiting professor at Stanford University (USA), University of Padova (Italy) and Otto von Guericke University (Germany). She is a member of the editorial board of Journal of Peridynamics and Nonlocal Modeling (Springer).
PROF. Erkan Oterkus
Prof. Erkan Oterkus is an associate professor in the department of Naval Architecture, Ocean and Marine Engineering of University of Strathclyde. He is also leading Peridynamics, Multiscale, Multiphysics Analysis of materials and structures (PMMA) research group. He received his PhD from University of Arizona, USA and was a researcher at NASA Langley Research Center, USA before joining University of Strathclyde. He is the co-author of numerous publications including the first of book on peridynamics, journal and conference papers. Dr. Oterkus was a visiting professor at Stanford University (USA), University of Padova (Italy), Otto von Guericke University (Germany) and Nihon University (Japan). He is an associate editor of Journal of Peridynamics and Nonlocal Modeling (Springer). He is a Special Issue Editor on “Marine Structures” for the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering and is a member of the editorial boards of Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, Composite Materials and Open Journal of Oceanography.
