      Figure P.1. Prof. Isaac Elishakoff

Prof. Isaac Elishakoff is an international leading authority across a broad area of structural mechanics, including dynamics and stability, optimization and anti-optimization, probabilistic methods, analysis of structures with uncertainty, refined theories, functionally graded material structures, and nanostructures. He was born in Kutaisi, Republic of Georgia, on February 9, 1944.
