Bojan Guzina is Shimizu Professor in the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geo- Engineering at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. His research focuses on direct and inverse problems involving wave motion. Example topics include inverse scattering, waves in periodic and random media, and nonlinear waves in soft solids. He tackles the scientific and engineering challenges using analytical, computational, and experimental tools. Target applications of his work include nondestructive evaluation of materials and structures, seismic imaging, medical diagnosis, wave manipulation by architected materials, and most recently wave-based characterization of mineral carbon storage. His research has been supported by the National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, and the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Guzina serves an Associate Editor for the ASCE Journal of Engineering Mechanics. He is the 2019 recipient of the Nathan M. Newmark Medal awarded by the American Society of Civil Engineers for seminal work on theoretical and computational methods related to wave propagation and inverse scattering problems, with applications to the imaging of biological and engineered systems.
