| Dr. Subhendu Datta has been a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the
University of Colorado at Boulder since 1974. He was Chair of the Mechanical
Engineering at the University of Colorado at Boulder during 1995-2004. He received a Bachelor of Science
degree in 1954 with first class honors in Mathematics from the Presidency
College, Calcutta; Master of Science degree with first class in Applied Mathematics from the
Calcutta University; Ph. D. degree in 1962 in Applied Mathematics from the Jadavpur University, Calcutta. He was a Lecturer at the Jadavpur University,
Calcutta, from 1957-62; Research Lecturer at the Mathematics Research Center,
University of Wisconsin, Madison, 1962-63; Post-Doctoral fellow, Department of
Mathematics, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1963-64; Visiting
Assistant Professor, University of Colorado, Boulder, 1964-65; Assistant
professor, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, India, 1965-67; Assistant
Professor, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada, 1967-68; Assistant and
Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, University of Colorado at
Boulder, 1968-74. He has had Visiting Professor appointments at the Punjab
University, Chandigarh, India, Calcutta University, National University of
Mexico, Technical University of Vienna, and Chalmers University of Technology in
Sweden. He was at the Division of Basic Energy Sciences, DOE, as an IPA engineer
during 1993-94. Dr. Datta received Fulbright Scholarships in 1962 and 1986; was recipient of Faculty Fellowships from the University of Colorado at Boulder, in 1972, 1986 and 1999; received NSF International Awards for visiting India, Ireland, and Sweden. Dr. Datta is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the American Academy of Mechanics. He is an Associate Editor of the Journal of Engineering Materials and Technology. Dr. Datta's research deals with analytical and numerical modeling of wave propagation and scattering in solid media. The modeling has included ultrasonic techniques for material characterization and nondestructive evaluation, elastic guided waves in layered, composite, and anisotropic plates and cylinders, and waves in thin layers and coatings. His current projects include thermomechanical properties and behavior of superconducting tapes, ultrasonic evaluation of weldments and gas pipelines, laser ultrasonics, and residual stress effects. Publications Dr. Datta has published over 200 papers in peer reviewed journals and conference proceedings and has edited the Proceedings of the US National Congress of Applied Mechanics, 1974, Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium on Elastic Waves and Ultrasonic Nondestructive Evaluation, 1989, and four ASME symposium volumes.
