Thomas Joseph Robert Hughes (born 1943) is a Professor of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics and currently holds the Computational and Applied Mathematics Chair (III) at the Oden Institute at The University of Texas at Austin.[2][3] Hughes has been listed as an ISI Highly Cited Author in Engineering by the ISI Web of Knowledge, Thomson Scientific Company.[4]

A leading expert in computational mechanics, Hughes has received numerous academic distinctions and awards for his work. He is a research fellow of the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, American Academy of Arts & Sciences, the American Academy of Mechanics, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the U.S. Association for Computational Mechanics (USACM), the International Association for Computational Mechanics (IACM), the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and has been elected as a foreign member of The Royal Society. He is a founder and past President of USACM and IACM, and past chairman of the Applied Mechanics Division of ASME.

Career

[edit]

Hughes began his career as a mechanical design engineer at Grumman Aerospace, subsequently joining General Dynamics as a research and development engineer. After receiving his Ph.D. from University of California, Berkeley,[3][5] he joined the Berkeley faculty, eventually moving to California Institute of Technology. He then moved to Stanford University before joining The University of Texas at Austin. At Stanford, he served as chairman of the Division of Applied Mechanics, chairman of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and chairman of the Division of Mechanics and Computation, where Hughes occupied the Mary and Gordon Crary Chair of Engineering. While at Stanford, he served as a member of International Advisory Committee, ICTACEM (2001).[6]

Hughes has developed computational methods for understanding solid, structural and fluid mechanics. He recently has applied this expertise to develop customized models of blood flow for patients using their individual imaging records such as CT scans and MRIs.

Hughes was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1995 for contributions to the development of finite element methods for solid-structural and fluid mechanics.
