Fernando Stump, who is pursuing a PhD in theoretical and applied mechanics, has been selected to receive the ISSMO/Springer Prize 2005 for a Young Scientist. The prize, presented by the International Society for Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization and publisher Springer-Verlag, was awarded for the paper "Material Distribution Design of Functionally Graded Rotating Disks with Stress Constraint." Stump's co-authors were Civil and Environmental Engineering professor Glaucio Paulino and Professor Emilio Silva of the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, Department of Mechatronics and Mechanical Systems Engineering. Stump presented the paper at the Sixth World Congress of Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization, which took place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2005. The biennial meeting is the official congress of ISSMO; the next meeting takes place in Seoul, South Korea, in May.
