Gérard Maugin

Gérard A. Maugin ( born December 2, 1944 in Angers ) is a French engineering scientists.

Maugin earned his engineering degree in 1966 as a mechanical engineer at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Arts et Métiers ( Ensam ) and in 1968 as an aircraft engineer at the Sup Aero in Paris. From 1966 he worked for the French Ministry of Defence to ballistic missiles. In 1968 he received his (DEA ) degree in hydrodynamics in Paris. In 1969, he earned his master's degree at Princeton University, where he became in 1971 a doctorate ( Ph.D.). He was from 1968 to 1970 as International NASA Fellow. 1971/72 he was an officer in the French Air Force ( then in reserve). In 1975 he received his doctorate in mathematics ( Doctorat d' Etat) at the University of Paris VI (Pierre et Marie Curie ), where he also taught and the research team at the Laboratory conducts since 1985 Continuum Mechanics for Theoretical Mechanics. After its name change in Laboratoire de Mode neutralization en Mecanique ( LMM), he headed this from 1998. Starting from 1979 he was Director of Research at CNRS.

He has been a visiting professor and visiting scientist at Princeton, Belgrade, Warsaw, Istanbul, at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, at the Technical University Berlin, Rome, Tel Aviv, the Lomonosov University, Kyoto, Darmstadt and Berkeley.

It deals with continuum mechanics, including relativistic continuum mechanics, micro magnetism, electrodynamics of continua, thermo mechanics, surface waves and nonlinear waves in continua, lattice dynamics, constitutive equations and biomechanical applications ( tissue growth ).

In 2001 he received the Max Planck Research Award, was the 1991/92 Fellow of the Institute for Advanced Study Berlin and received in 2001 an honorary doctorate from the Technical University of Darmstadt. In 1982 he received the mechanics Prize of the French Academy of Sciences in 1977 and the Medal of the CNRS in physics and engineering.

He is a member of the Polish Academy of Sciences (1994) and the Estonian Academy of Sciences and has an honorary professorship at the Moscow State University. In 2003 he received the A. C. Eringen Medal.
