research associate, effective January 1, 2001.
Dr. Thiagarajan comes to NCSA from Louisiana State University where he has
held the positions of instructor and professional-in-residence with the
Civil and Environmental Engineering departments. He obtained his Ph. D. in
civil engineering and applied mechanics from LSU in 1996. The title of his
thesis, A cyclic plasticity model with damage characterization for
metal matrix composites, reflects his interest in material failure
problems. He has also published a number of research papers in various
archival journals and conference proceedings.
Ganesh will be working on PET-related impact and penetration models with
K. Jimmy Hsia, associate professor of theoretical and applied mechanics and
PET CSM senior academic lead for the Army Research Laboratory Major Shared
