Prof Sarp Adali - Emeritus Professor, Discipline of Mechanical Engineering and Director of Centre of Composite Materials and Structures, UKZN
Graduated from the Middle East Technical University (METU, Turkey) with a BSc in Civil Engineering in 1968 and graduated from Cornell University with a PhD in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics in 1973. Work experience: Assistant Professor, 1973-1976, METU, Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, South Africa (1977-1983), University of KwaZulu-Natal (1984-2021). My research areas include composite structures, nanocomposites, optimal design, nano-scale components and work safety. I have published more than 210 journal papers between 1973 and 2021. Currently I am on the editorial boards of Composite Structures, Science and Engineering of Composite Materials, Curved and Layered Structures and Mechanics of Advanced Materials and Structures, SA Institute of Mechanical Engineering Research and Development Journal and International Journal of Automotive Composites. Two of my editorial board memberships with Applied Mechanics Reviews and Mathematical Problems in Engineering have expired. I am a past fellow of ASME.
