About Raul:
Raul is an avid kitesurfer.
On a more serious note:
Raul Radovitzky is the Raymond L. Bisplinghoff Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He also serves as the Associate Director of the MIT Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies, where he also leads research efforts on Blast and Ballistic Protection. He received a Civil Engineer degree from the University of Buenos Aires in 1991, A S. M. in Applied Mathematics from Brown University in 1995 and a Ph.D. in Aeronautical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology in 1998. His research interests are in the development of numerical methods for multi-scale modeling of complex material response as well as in the formulation and implementation of algorithms for large-scale simulation of the dynamic response of materials to extreme loading conditions with emphasis on material and structural failure. The methods his group has developed have led to significant advances in our understanding of the physical effects of blast waves on the brain. This has helped to develop strategies to protect against Traumatic Brain Injury. Dr. Radovitzky is an Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and a member of the National Football League Head, Neck and Spine Injury Research Committee.
