Dr. Glaucio Paulino

Biography

Glaucio H. Paulino is the Margareta Engman Augustine Professor of Engineering at Princeton University, where he has significant involvement with the Princeton Materials Institute (PMI). He has held various concurrent appointments including Associated Faculty roles in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Chemical and Biological Engineering, and Electrical and Computer Engineering, as well as being a member of the Executive Committee at the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment. Paulino is a prominent figure in applied mechanics, focusing on developing methodologies to characterize the deformation and fracture behavior of both existing and emerging materials, such as architected materials. His research includes topology optimization for large-scale multiscale multiphysics problems, computational mechanics, and variational methods, particularly mimetic-based virtual elements. His work expands into origami engineering and deployable adaptable structures, with practical applications in both industry and academia. Paulino has served as co-Editor-in-Chief for the Journal of Structural Multidisciplinary Optimization and has held editorial roles in various prestigious engineering journals. He is a past president of the Society of Engineering Science and has received numerous awards, including fellowships from professional societies and significant medals for his contributions to the field.
