Lallit Anand is the Warren and Towneley Rohsenow Professor of

Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His research focuses on solid mechanics and large deformation plasticity theory.[1] He has received numerous awards and accolades for his significant contributions to the field of applied mechanics and mechanical engineering.[2]

Biography

Lallit Anand was born in

Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[5] He was elected as a member to the National Academy of Engineering in 2018[6]
for contributions to the development of plasticity for engineering technology: theory, experiment, and computation.

In addition to his work at the university, he has served as the program director for the Mechanics of Materials Program [1], as well as the Manufacturing Processes Program in the Engineering Directorate of the

American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and served as the chair of the Applied Mechanics Division in 1999.[3]

Research

In his research, Anand focuses on

continuum mechanics, and plasticity. Many of the theories that he has developed in his research have been used in finite-element-based computer programs and are widely implemented for structural and materials-processing design in engineering.[7]

Anand has published over 130 peer-reviewed research papers in academic journals.[5] He has also coauthored a textbook with Morton Gurtin and Eliot Fried, titled The Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Continua published by Cambridge University Press in 2010, which is frequently used in engineering courses focusing on continuum mechanics.[5][8]

Awards and honors

  • 2003: Fellow of the
    American Society of Mechanical Engineers [3], 2003.[10]
  • 2011: Distinguished Alumnus Award from the
    Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.[12]
  • 2017: J. P. Den Hartog Distinguished Educator Award for excellence in teaching Mechanical Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[15]
  • 2018: William Prager Medal from the Society of Engineering Science, for outstanding research contributions in Solid Mechanics.[7]
  • 2018: Brown Engineering Alumni Medal from Brown University for his distinguished career and contributions to the field of engineering research.[5]
