Rheology and Fluid Mechanics

Biography

Prof.Igor Emri is a Chair Professor of Mechanics at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Ljubljana and also acts as the President of the Institute for Sustainable Innovative Technologies, EEIG. He has developed an innovative theoretical-experimental approach, known as Knauss-Emri model, to study the non-linear behavior of time-dependent materials. Professor Emri’s current research activities include non-linear time-dependent behavior of dissipative systems with the emphasis on behavior of solid polymers and their Nano/Micro/Macro-Composites.He is one of the key founders and Editor-in-Chief of the international journal namely Mechanics of Time Dependent Materials, published by Springer publishing house. Professor Emri is member in various International Scientific Societies and Association which inclueds Society of Experimental Mechanics (USA), Russian Academy of Engineering, Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, European Academy of Sciences and Arts, European Academy of Sciences, Slovenian Academy of Engineering, Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, and Honorary Member of the Ukrainian Academy of Engineering. He is Chairman of the Science Europe Scientific Committee on Engineering and Technology (ENGITECH), and President of the International Committee on Rheology (ICR).
