Julian J. Rimoli

Julián J. Rimoli is the Department Chair and Henry Samueli Faculty Excellence Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California, Irvine. He obtained his Engineering Diploma in Aeronautics from Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentina, in 2001. He received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Aeronautics from Caltech in 2005 and 2009 respectively. Upon graduation Dr. Rimoli accepted a postdoctoral associate position at the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics of MIT, where he performed research for over a year and a half. He joined Georgia Tech in 2011, where until 2022 he was the Pratt & Whitney Professor of Aerospace Engineering. His research interests lie within the broad field of computational mechanics of materials and structures, with special interest in problems involving multiple length and time scales, and in the development of theories and computational techniques for seamlessly bridging them. He is a Fellow of ASME, an Associate Fellow of AIAA, and is the recipient of the NSF CAREER Award, the Ernest E. Sechler Memorial Award in Aeronautics, the James Clerk Maxwell Young Writers Prize, and the Class of 1940 Teaching Effectiveness Award.
