Education

Daniel attended the National Technical University of Athens in Greece. He received a B.S. in 1957, M.S. in 1959, and Ph.D. in 1964 in Civil Engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology.[ citation needed ]

Research and career

After completing his PhD, Daniel stayed on at IIT, managing the ITT Research Institute which he inherited from August J. Durelli and as a professor. [2] In 1982 he moved to Northwestern University where he was the Walter P. Murphy professor and Director of the Center for Intelligent Processing of Composites.[ citation needed ] He is now professor emeritus with Northwestern. [3] His research encompassed composite materials, nondestructive evaluation, wave propagation, fracture mechanics, and nanotechnology. He was active in the Society for Experimental Stress Analysis and later renamed Society for Experimental Mechanics, being named an Honorary Member of the Society in 2007. [4] He is a member of the European Academy of Sciences. [5] In 2002, a symposium in his honor was held in conjunction with 14th U.S. National Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics and the proceedings published in "Recent Advances in Experimental Mechanics - In Honor of Isaac M. Daniel.” [6]
