Isaac Mordochai Daniel is a Greek-American engineer and professor.[1]
Daniel attended theNational Technical University of Athens inGreece. He received a B.S. in 1957, M.S. in 1959, and Ph.D. in 1964 inCivil Engineering from theIllinois Institute of Technology.[citation needed]
After completing his PhD, Daniel stayed on at IIT, managing theITT Research Institute which he inherited fromAugust J. Durelli and as a professor.[2] In 1982 he moved toNorthwestern University where he was the Walter P. Murphy professor and Director of the Center for Intelligent Processing of Composites.[citation needed] He is now professor emeritus with Northwestern.[3] His research encompassedcomposite materials,nondestructive evaluation,wave propagation,fracture mechanics, andnanotechnology. He was active in the Society for Experimental Stress Analysis and later renamedSociety for Experimental Mechanics, being named an Honorary Member of theSociety in 2007.[4] He is a member of theEuropean Academy of Sciences.[5] In 2002, a symposium in his honor was held in conjunction with 14th U.S. National Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics and the proceedings published in "Recent Advances in Experimental Mechanics - In Honor of Isaac M. Daniel.”[6]
