Civil Engineer and Applied Mathematician Receives the Max Planck Research Prize
Dr. Selvadurai’s research work spans a number of areas in continuum mechanics, computational and experimental geomechanics, and applied mathematics. In conjunction with his mathematical and computational modelling, Dr. Selvadurai actively conducts experimental modelling in geomechanics, a rarity for accomplished researchers with interests in theoretical and computational modelling. As Dr. Selvadurai remarks, “The research support that I have received from NSERC throughout my academic career has had a profound influence on my ability to conduct fundamental research, which has a lasting value, and, most importantly, to train research students who can appreciate the value of fundamental research. The Max Planck Award is certainly a recognition of this aspect.” The Max Planck Award carries with it research funds that will enable Dr. Selvadurai to collaborate with researchers at the University of Stuttgart and other research institutions in Germany over a five-year period. This award acknowledges his outstanding research achievements in the areas of applied mathematics, theoretical and applied mechanics, environmental geomechanics and computational geomechanics.
