Bio

Vlado Lubarda received his mechanical degree from the University of Montenegro in 1975, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Stanford University in 1977 and 1979. He was an Assistant and Associate Professor at the University of Montenegro from 1980-1989, a Fulbright Fellow and Visiting Associate Professor at Brown University from 1989-1991, and at Arizona State University from 1992-1997. Since 1998, he has been an Adjunct Professor of Applied Mechanics in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and since 2013 a Teaching Professor in the NanoEngineering Department of UCSD. Professor Lubarda serves on the editorial board of Theoretical and Applied MechanicsMathematics and Mechanics of Solids, and Acta Mechanica. He is a Fellow of Revelle College, a member of the Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts, and the European Academy of Sciences and Arts.
