PI A. Reali's Honors and Awards:

  • February 2013 - March 2015: Appointed (three times) University Visiting Research Affiliate by the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences (ICES) of the University of Texas at Austin.
  • February 2015: Recipient of the “Hans Fischer” Fellowship, awarded by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) to outstanding international scientists who intend to explore innovative, high-risk topics in their scientific research areas. The Fellowship includes an award of 30,000 Euros, plus 50,000 Euros for research-related costs, economical support for one PhD student at TUM (worth 135,000 Euros, excluding overheads), and the the right to award Doctorates at TUM (“Promotionsrecht”).
  • February 2015: Invited member of “Gruppo 2003”, an association of Italian ISI Thomson-Reuters “Highly Cited Researchers” aiming at highlighting the value and the importance of scientific research in Italy.
  • July 2014: Recipient of the IACM “John Argyris” Award for Young Scientists, awarded, on a biennial basis, by the International Association for Computational Mechanics (IACM) for outstanding accomplishments by a researcher 40 years old or younger.
  • June 2014: Included in the list of “Highly Cited Researchers” by ISI Thomson-Reuters (http://highlycited.com), “in recognition of ranking among the top 1% of researchers for most cited documents, in their specific fields”.
  • June 2014: Included in the report “The World’s Most Influential Scientific Minds: 2014”, published by Thomson-Reuters to “highlight standout researchers of the last decade”.
  • September 2013: Recipient of the 2013 “AIMETA Junior” Prize for Mechanics of Solids and Structures, awarded, on a biennial basis, by the Italian Association of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (AIMETA) to young (i.e., under 40) Italian scientists for outstanding research results concerning one of the Association scientific areas.
  • December 2012: Elected member of the “Young Academy of Europe”, a pan-European association of outstanding young scientists aiming at “creating a platform for networking, scientific exchange, and science policy”, affiliated to the Academia Europaea (the Academy of Europe).
  • September 2012: Recipient of the “O.C. Zienkiewicz” Award, awarded, on a biennial basis, by the European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences (ECCOMAS) to the best young (i.e., under 40) scientist in the field of Computational Engineering Sciences.
  • July 2004 - April 2012: Recipient (8 times) of the J. Tinsley Oden Faculty Fellowship, awarded by the ICES of the University of Texas at Austin to “support research visits of outstanding researchers and scholars”.
  • October 2011: Selected for the volume “Young Brain”, i.e., the book of the 150 best Italian young researchers, promoted for the 150th anniversary of Italy Unification by the Ministry of Youth and published by gruppo editoriale NEDE, in collaboration with Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR) and Conferenza dei Rettori delle Università Italiane (CRUI).

Team Members Honors and Awards:
