Adnan Ibrahimbegovic received his PhD in Computational Mechanics from the University of California, Berkeley, and completed postdoctoral research in the same field. He worked as a Researcher at the University of California, Berkeley (1988–1992). In 1992, he moved to EPFL, Switzerland, where he worked as a Senior Research Scientist until 1994. He was appointed Professor of Mechanical Engineering at TU Compiègne in 1994 and was promoted to Professor of Civil Engineering at École Normale Supérieure (ENS), France, in 1999. He was promoted to Classe Exceptionnelle in 2009, held a Chair position from 2014, and was appointed Senior Member of the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF) in 2015, with renewal in 2020. He received the IACM Fellow Award from the International Association for Computational Mechanics and was nominated to the Academia Europaea in 2022. His research topics mainly include nonlinear finite element methods, computational solid mechanics, finite rotation formulations, multiscale modeling, and failure of heterogeneous materials.
