Today, the International Association for Computational Mechanics (IACM) is a well-established professional society, with almost five thousand affiliates worldwide. Its Awards Program has been established to honor individuals who have made significant contributions in basic or applied computational mechanics, and to showcase the work of creative scholarship of its membership to the entire world.
The IACM Awards are conferred every two years. They were designed to recognize members in different age groups and to achieve different purposes: for senior researchers, to celebrate a lifetime achievement; for mid-career researchers, to honor an exceptional accomplishment; and for early career researchers or graduate students, to reward outstanding young research talent for a significant contribution in computational mechanics.
IACM Simo-Ladyzhenskaya Award recognizes computational mechanicians with exceptional promise for sustained excellence in research at a mid-career stage, with 12 to 20 years of experience after their PhD.
The award is named after Juan Carlos Simó and Olga Ladyzhenskaya.
