Three prestigious organizations recognized Dr. J.N. Reddy for his outstanding and continued contributions to the field of engineering and science.
Reddy's recent recognitions include his elections as a fellow of the Spanish Royal Academy of Engineering, as an honorary member of the European Academy of Sciences and member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts.
Reddy serves as the O'Donnell Foundation Chair IV Professor in the J. Mike Walker '66 Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University and the director of the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station's Center of Innovation in Mechanics for Design and Manufacturing.
His distinctions include serving as a University Distinguished Professor and Regents Professor at Texas A&M and a U.S. National Academy of Engineering member. In total, Reddy has been elected to eight different national academies, including his recent recognitions.
Reddy attributes his extensive contributions to engineering literature and his international research collaborations as the primary reasons behind his election to the international organizations.
"My research, my books, frequent travels to collaborate and conduct research with European colleagues and major professional society awards that I have received have contributed to this election," Reddy said. "Getting elected to eight national academies from engineering is itself a major recognition to me individually. I am humbled by these recognitions by different bodies, and the personal recognitions also put Texas A&M globally in a list of institutions whose faculty members are members of these academies."
