HONOR: ASCE SEI FELLOW

It is with great joy that I can inform you that I have been named Fellow of the Structural Engineering Institute (SEI) of ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineering). The SEI Fellow grade distinguishes members of ASCE as leaders and mentors in the profession. I am being recognized for “her seminal contributions to the understanding of the mechanics of large-scale shells and membranes through the development of methods for form-finding, analysis and optimization, and for her leadership in bridging art and engineering to bring innovative solutions to the 21st century challenges of the built environment.” My thanks go out to all my students, collaborators, colleagues and all the other people (you know I mean you) that make my work possible every day!
