Shaofan Li received his BS from the East China University of Science and Technology, China
(1982); an MS from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China (1989) and an MS from
University of Florida (1993); and his PhD from Northwestern University (1997). After spending
three years as a post-doctoral fellow at Northwestern University, he became an Assistant Professor
at University of California, Berkeley in 2000. His research interests include finite element methods,
meshfree particle methods, micromechanics, structural dynamics, and dynamic fracture/shear
band propagation in solids. He is a member of the United States Association for Computational
Mechanics.
Wing Kam Liu received his BS with the highest honor from the University of Illinois at Chicago
(1976); his MS (1977) and PhD (1981) from Caltech. In September 1980, he became an Assistant
Professor at Northwestern University. In 1988, he became a Professor of Mechanical and Civil
Engineering. His research activities include development of finite element methods, reproducing
kernel and wavelet methods and deterministic and probabilistic computational methods, design and
manufacturing and nano-mechanics. He is the recipient of the 2001 Computational Structural Award
from USACM, 1995 Gustus L Larson Memorial Award from ASME, 1989 Thomas J Jaeger Prize,
IASMiRT, 1985 Pi Tau Sigma Gold Medal from ASME, the 1983 Ralph R Teetor Educational Award
from ASAE and the 1979 Melville Medal from ASME. He became elected a Fellow of ASME in 1990,
ASCE in 1993, and USACM in 1995. Currently, Liu serves as an Associate Editor for the ASME
Journal of Pressure Vessel Technology, and the ASME Journal of Applied Mechanics, Managing
Editor of Computers and Structures, and Computational Mechanics, and Advisory Editor of Computer
Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering. He is the current President of the United States Association for
Computational Mechanics. In 2001, Wing Kam Liu was listed as one of the 93 most highly cited engineers in the world by
the Institute for Scientific Information, (ISI) 93 Most Highly Cited Researchers in Engineering.
