Biography:
Professor Dulikravich (Ph.D.-Cornell’79),(M.Sc.-Minnesota’75) (Dipl.Ing.-Belgrade’73). His research interests are computational, analytical, and highly multi-disciplinary spanning the fields of aerospace, mechanical, industrial, engineering mechanics, materials and biomedical engineering. This research resulted in 530 publications including: development of a variety of inverse design algorithms; multi-objective hybrid constrained evolutionary design optimization algorithms; acceleration of iterative algorithms; turbomachinery aero-thermodynamics and heat transfer; conjugate heat transfer, optimized topology of branching 3D cooling micro-channels for high heat fluxes; brain cooling of stroked patients; optimized cooling of organs for transplantation; optimally controlled solidification using electric, magnetic and thermal fields; multi-objective optimization and inverse design of chemical compositions of nickel superalloys, titanium alloys, aluminum alloys, bulk metallic glasses, and magnetic alloys; thermo-elasticity analysis and inverse problems; design optimization of kinetic energy projectiles for maximum penetration; inverse design and optimization of transonic and hypersonic flight vehicles; parameter identification; and constrained design optimization of chemical formulas for functional molecules.
Prof. Dulikravich is the founder and served as Editor-in-Chief of the international journal Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering (1994-2021) and as Associate Editor of ten other journals. He is also the founder, chairman and editor of the sequence of International Conferences on Inverse Design Concepts and Optimization in Engineering Sciences (ICIDES) and a co-founder of the sequence of international symposia on Inverse Problems, Design and Optimization (IPDO).
His research has been funded by NSF, NASA, AFOSR, ARO, ONR, DoD, DoE, NETL, ALCOA, LLNL, Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, GE, Medtronics, Millipore, CRDF, HPTi, Bell Helicopters, NAVAIR, Touchstone Research Laboratories, TKelvin, DARPA, CNPq, ORNL and UCAH.
He co-organized over 200 technical meetings, mentored 20 PhD and 33 MSc students, 30 visiting scientists and postdoctoral fellows, and has presented 32 plenary, keynote and invited lectures at national and international meetings.
