AWARDS AND MEMORIAMS
N.O. Myklestad Award
Technical Committee on Vibration
and Sound
Biographical Description: Noel Perkins is the Donald T.
Greenwood Collegiate Professor of Engineering and an Arthur F.
Thurnau Professor in Mechanical Engineering at the University of
Michigan. He earned his Ph.D at U. C. Berkeley in 1986
(Mechanical Engineering) prior to joining the faculty at Michigan.
His research interests draw from the fields of computational,
nonlinear and structural dynamics with applications to the
mechanics of single molecule DNA and DNA/protein complexes,
wireless inertial sensors for analyzing human motion, and the
dynamics of cable structures, vehicle systems, and axially moving
materials. He presently serves as the Editor of the ASME J.
Vibration and Acoustics and has previously served in editorial
capacities for the ASME J. Applied Mechanics (Associate Editor),
the Journal of Vibration and Control (Member, Editorial Board),
the International Journal of Non-linear Mechanics (Guest Editor),
and the Journal of Sound and Vibration (Member, Editorial Board).
He is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers,
a recipient of the General Motors Outstanding Distance Learning
Faculty Award (twice), the Academic Challenge Award from the
Technical University of Munich, the Amoco Undergraduate
Teaching Award and several other teaching awards from the
University of Michigan. He remains active in commercialization
activities for MEMS-based sports training systems, and is
founding partner of Cast Analysis, LLC that manufactures a fly
casting training system.
