George Zino Voyiadjis is an American civil engineer. He has been on the faculty of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, since 1980, and is Boyd Professor and Bingham C. Stewart Distinguished Professor in its department of civil and environmental engineering. He specializes in mechanics of materials and damage mechanics, and the numerical modeling thereof.[1]

Education[edit]

Voyiadjis took a B.Sc. in civil engineering from Ain Shams University in Cairo in 1969, an M.Sc. in civil engineering from California Institute of Technology in Pasadena in 1970, and a D.Eng.Sc. in engineering mechanics from Columbia University in New York in 1973.[1]

Awards[edit]

In 2022, Voyiadjis was awarded the Nadia Medal by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.[2]
