Martin Ostoja-Starzewski

Martin Ostoja-Starzewski is a professor of mechanical science and engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He received his undergraduate education at Cracow University of Technology, followed by Master’s and Ph.D. degrees at McGill University. Ostoja-Starzewski's work focuses on the mechanics/physics of random and fractal media, having made seminal contributions in scaling to representative elementary volume in linear and nonlinear material systems, formulation of a universal elastic anisotropy index, elastodynamics, tensor random fields, and bridging continuum mechanics to spontaneous violations of the second law of thermodynamics. He has over 200 journal papers, 4 (co-)authored, co-edited books, and has given over 200 invited/keynote lectures and seminars.

Career

Ostoja-Starzewski is known for research in mechanics/physics of random and fractal media, including scaling to representative elementary volume in (non)linear material systems, formulation of a universal elastic anisotropy index, wave propagation, tensor random fields, and bridging continuum mechanics to spontaneous violations of the second law of thermodynamics.

He is fellow of ASME, American Academy of Mechanics, Society of Engineering Science, and associate fellow of AIAA. In 2018 he received the Worcester Reed Warner Medal of ASME. Until 2005 he held the first Canada Research Chair (Tier 1) in engineering at McGill University. In 2014 he became Site co-Director of the NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Novel High Voltage/Temperature Materials and Structures. He served on the Executive Committee of ISIMM (2013-2016).

He serves as editor of Acta Mechanica, editor-in-chief of Journal of Thermal Stresses, chair managing editor of Mathematics and Mechanics of Complex Systems, and Associate Editor of Mechanics Research Communications. He has been a member of editorial boards of several other journals.
