J. Austin Cottrell, Thomas J. R. Hughes & Yuri Basilievs, University of Texas at Austin, USA J. Austin Cottrell is a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Texas at Austin, having received his Ph D in Computational and Applied Mathematics in 2007. Isogeometric analysis is a topic pioneered by his graduate research under the supervision of Tom Hughes. Tom Hughes was a leading professor of mechanical engineering at Stanford University before being lured to join the University of Texas at Austin in 2002 as Professor of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics within the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences. He is co-editor of the International Journal of Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, a founder and past President of USACM and IACM, and past Chairman of the Applied Mechanics Division of ASME. A world leader in the development of the finite element method, he has received the Walter L. Huber Civil Engineering Research Prize from ASCE, the Melville Medal from ASME, the Computational Mechanics Award from the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, the von Neumann Medal from USACM, the Gauss-Newton Medal from IACM, and the Worcester Reed Warner Medal from ASME. Dr. Hughes is a member of the National Academy of Engineering. Yuri Basilievs also obtained his Ph D from the University of Texas at Austin in 2007 under the supervision of Tom Hughes.
