the University of Texas at Austin, as a research scientist for Lockheed Missiles and Space
Company, and taught at the University of Oklahoma and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and
State University, where he was the inaugural holder of the Clifton C. Garvin Endowed
Professorship.
Professor Reddy is the author of over 320 journal papers and 14 text books on theoretical
formulations and finite element analysis of problems in solid and structural mechanics
(plates and shells), composite materials, computational fluid dynamics and heat transfer,
and applied mathematics.
Professor Reddy is the recipient of numerous awards including the 1984Walter L. Huber
Civil Engineering Research Prize of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the 1985
Alumni Research Award at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, the 1992Worcester ReedWarner
Medal and the 1995 Charles Russ Richards Memorial Award of the American Society of
