Cornelius O. Horgan is the Wills Johnson Professor of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the School of Engineering and Applied Science, University of Virginia. He was educated at the National University of Ireland (B.Sc. 1964, M.Sc. 1965, Mathematical Science) and at the California Institute of Technology (Ph.D. 1970, Applied Mechanics). His research interests are in applied mechanics (mechanics of solids and materials) and applied mathematics, in which fields he has authored or co-authored ten invited book chapters, over 160 publications in refereed archival journals and numerous Conference Proceedings papers. He has been an active member of the Applied Mechanics Division of ASME, and was founding chairman of the Elasticity Committee of that division from 1981 to 1986. He is one of the managing and founding editors of Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids and serves on the Editorial Boards of the International J. of Nonlinear Mechanics and of the J. of Elasticity. He was a member of the editorial board of the SIAM J. on Applied Mathematics from 1995-2004, an Associate Editor of the Journal of Applied Mechanics from 1988 – 1992, and an Associate Editor of Applied Mechanics Reviews from 1985-2000. In 1983 he was awarded the degree of Doctor of Science (D.Sc.) by the National University of Ireland, in 1985 was elected Fellow of the American Academy of Mechanics and was elected Fellow of ASME in 1992. He served on the Board of Directors, Society of Engineering Science from 1993-1999 and on the Executive Committee of the International Society for the Interaction of Mechanics and Mathematics (ISIMM) from 2002-2007. He was awarded the A. C. Eringen medal by the Society of Engineering Science in 2005 in recognition of sustained outstanding achievements in Engineering Science.
