Royal Society of Canada 2023 Michael P. Païdoussis Medal

The Royal Society of Canada (RSC) established the medal in 2022. The Canadian National Committee for the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (CNC-IUTAM) established the Païdoussis Medal in Applied Mechanics in recognition of Professor Michael P. Païdoussis, who was the founding Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Fluids and Structures (Elsevier). He has made tremendous contributions to the enhancement of the research in fluid-structure interaction through challenging experiments and advanced modelling. 

The Michael P. Païdoussis Medal will recognize outstanding research, education and leadership in applied mechanics, including solid continuum mechanics, fluid mechanics, and fluid-structure interaction.
