Siddhartha Das, professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Maryland (UMD), has been inducted as a Lifetime Fellow of the International Association of Advanced Materials (IAAM). It is the latest in a succession of prestigious honors for Das, who is an internationally recognized expert on nanomaterials, soft materials, and related technologies.
The IAAM selects Lifetime Fellows on the basis of significant contributions to the field of advanced materials, with potential candidates being nominated by their peers. Das was induced as a Fellow for his contributions to computational modeling and machine learning in soft materials. In conjunction with this honor, he delivered the IAAAM Fellows Lecture last month, with the lecture scheduled to be available as part of the IAAM’s video journal, Video Proceedings of Advanced Materials.
“I am pleased to receive this noteworthy recognition in the field of advanced materials," Das said. "Some of the highest-profile scientists and engineers have received this recognition in the past. I believe this recognition acknowledges my research on soft materials such as polymers.”
A member of the UMD faculty since 2014, Das has received widespread acclaim for his pioneering use of molecular dynamics simulations to study phenomena in soft materials occurring at a scale too small to be observed directly.
He has published more than 200 journal papers, including in Nature Materials, Science Advances, PNAS, ACS Nano, Advanced Materials, Matter, Nature Communications, Macromolecules, and Soft Matter. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics, the Royal Society of Chemistry, Institute of Engineering Technology (U.K.), and the Linnean Society of London.
In 2023, he joined the editorial board of Physics of Fluids, and continues to serve in that role today.
