Dr. Namiko Yamamoto Associate Professor of Aerospace Engineering

Book Title: Static and Dynamic Properties of Composite Blades with Structural Couplings

Author: John Dugundji

Selection Statement:

Dr. Dugundji is the pioneer in aeroelasticity. I was lucky to get to know him during my graduate years in our composite lab at MIT. He is intelligent, generous, caring, funny, and curious. My thesis topic on nanocomposites was new to him, and I had the honor to introduce him to the field. Dr. Dugundji showed me how fun and rewarding an academic career can be, as did Dr. Brian Wardle (my Ph.D. adviser) and Dr. George Lesieutre (my first boss at Penn State).
