Professor Haym Benaroya

Haym Benaroya, Ph.D., FASME, FBIS is Professor of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering at Rutgers University.
 
His general interests include probabilistic methods, system dynamics & control, decision analysis, operations research and public policy. Also: the history and development of scientific and mathematical ideas; engineering education; space business and technology transfer.
 
Current research interests include: the stochastic modeling of ocean waves and currents; stochastic fluid-structure interaction modeling of vortex-shedding; nonlinear dynamics of offshore structures; analysis of stochastic parametric vibrations and stability; random vibration, risk and reliability of aerospace/space structures; modeling of space and lunar base structures.
 
Haym authored Turning Dust to Gold: Building a Future on the Moon and Mars and Mechanical Vibration: Analysis, Uncertainties, and Control, coedited IUTAM Symposium on Integrated Modeling of Fully Coupled Fluid Structure Interactions Using Analysis, Computations and Experiments, coauthored Mechanical Vibration: Analysis, Uncertainties, and Control, Third Edition, Nonlinear and Stochastic Dynamics of Compliant Offshore Structures (Solid Mechanics and Its Applications), and Probability Models in Engineering and Science, and edited Lunar Settlements (Advances in Engineering Series).
 
He earned his BECE at The Cooper Union in 1976, his MSE in Structures at the University of Pennsylvania in 1977, and his Ph.D. in Structures, Mechanics, and Probabilistic Methods, at the University of Pennsylvania in 1981.
 
Haym is Member, International Academy of Astronautics; Fellow, American Society of Mechanical Engineers; Fellow, British Interplanetary Society; Associate Fellow, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. In 2008 he was awarded the Outstanding Technical Contribution Award by ASCE. This is one of highest awards of the Aerospace Division and is given to an individual who has contributed substantially to advancing the state of the art in aerospace engineering, sciences and technology, and space exploration and construction with application to civil engineering.
