2019 SES Medalists

Tarr-Coyne Professor of Applied Physics and of Electrical Engineering
Harvard University

For seminal contributions at the intersection of semiconductor electronics and photonics, and leadership in nanoscale science and engineering

James N. and Nancy J. Farley Professor in Manufacturing and Entrepreneurship
Northwestern University

For outstanding research contributions in experimental solid mechanics, including nano- and micromechanical testing and model development

Professor of Engineering Mechanics
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

For fundamental contributions to the theory of stabilized and variational multiscale methods in computational fluid dynamics and their widespread adoption and utilization in industry and at national laboratories

MD Anderson Chair Professor & Department Chair of Mechanical Engineering
University of Houston
