Anil K. Chopra：
Anil K. Chopra received his Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from Banaras Hindu University, India, in 1960, the Master of Science degree from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1963, and the Doctor of Philosophy degree, also from Berkeley, in 1966. He joined the faculty at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1969.
His research activities have included studies of structural dynamics, various problems in earthquake analysis and design of buildings, dynamic soil‑structure interaction, dynamic fluid‑structure interaction, and earthquake analysis and design of concrete dams. He has authored more than 330 published papers on this work, a monograph, Earthquake Dynamics of Structures, A Primer, 2005, and a textbook, Dynamics of Structures: Theory and Applications to Earthquake Engineering, 1995, 2001, 2007 and 2012. He has received the following medals and awards: the University Gold Medal (1960) and the Distinguished Alumnus Award (1980) from Banaras Hindu University; the Ernest E. Howard Award (1998), the Nathan M. Newmark Medal (1993), the Norman Medal thrice (2001, 1991 and 1979), the Raymond C. Reese Research Prize (1989), and the Walter L. Huber Research Prize (1975), all of the American Society of Civil Engineers; the Housner Medal (2002) from the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute; and the AT&T Foundation Award of the American Society for Engineering Education (1987). At the University of California at Berkeley he was named to the Horace, Dorothy, and Katherine Johnson Chair in Engineering in 1992, and received the Distinguished Teaching Award in 1999. In 2009 the magazine International Water, Power & Dam Construction listed him among the “60 most influential people in the hydropower and dams industry” who “helped shape the course of the global hydro and dams business over the last 60 years.” In 2011 the same magazine listed him among “Influencing Engineering…the 20 people who have made the biggest difference in the dam engineering sector over the past ten years.” |
