Vincent Godino
M.S. Columbia University, 1963
Chief Technical Advisor
Mr. Godino is the Chief Technical Advisor of Global Engineering and Materials, Inc. He
is playing a key role in guiding and technically directing various Navy projects in the
areas of structural analysis, electro-mechanical systems, underwater shock, vibrations,
fluid mechanics, and computational solid mechanics with specialized emphasis on
submarine and surface ship structures, equipment and systems development. Prior to
joining GEM, some representative projects Mr. Godino participated in include: 1)
development, design, analysis and testing of shock isolated modules for DD(X) including
the combat system and machinery; 2) Technical manager for shock design/analyses of the
VIRGINIA Class combat system isolated module to enable the survivability of low cost
commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)equipment subject to underwater shock attack 3) Technical
manager for the underwater shock qualification testing of submarine High Data Rate
Electrical hull penetration, and the OE-538 electrical hull penetration and
multifunction mast; and 4) Program manager for Defense Nuclear Agency Program to develop
computational mechanics methods to evaluate submarine and surface ship survivability
subject to underwater explosion . Mr. Godino is a registered professional engineer in
the state of Connecticut, and a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
Ted Belytschko
Ph.D. Illinois Institute of Technology, 1968
Technical Advisor
Dr. Ted Belytschko currently holds multiple professional responsibilities. He is a
Walter P. Murphy Professor and McCormick Professor of Computational Mechanics at
Northwestern University. He also serves as a Technical Advisor of Global Engineering and
Materials, Inc. Dr. Ted Belytschko and its research group have performed pioneering work
in X-FEM development for fatigue and fracture failure prediction. In addition, He has
worked on meshfree methods, techniques for representing arbitrary discontinuities in
finite elements and multiscale coupling methods. He has also developed explicit finite
element methods that are widely used in crashworthiness analysis and virtual
prototyping. He has received the Timoshenko Medal from the ASME, the Gauss-Newton Medal
from the International Association for Computational Mechanics, the von Neumann Medal of
the US Association for Computational Mechanics, the von Karman medal from ASCE, and
several other medals and awards. He has received honorary Doctorates from the University
of Liege and the Ecole Centrale-Paris. In 2003, he was listed as the 6th most cited
researcher in engineering and 7th most cited in computer science.
N. Sukumar
Ph.D. Northwestern University, 1998
Technical Consultant
Dr. Sukumar is a member of the Structural Engineering and Structural Mechanics (SESM) faculty at UC Davis, and also a member of the Graduate Group in Applied Mathematics and Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering. His research interests lie in the areas of computational solid mechanics and applied mathematics, with particular emphasis on the understanding of failure in structural and biological materials. Dr. Sukumar has been involved in the development of meshfree (natural neighbor) and partition of unity finite element methods. Other areas of interest and current research emphasis include computational geometry, level set methods, information theory, Bayesian theory of probability, maximum entropy methods, constrained optimization and variational analysis, dynamic programming, adaptive mesh refinement, quantum mechanics, and scientific computing. Prior to UCD, Dr. Sukumar was a research associate at Princeton, Ph.D. in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics from Northwestern, M.S. from OGI, and B.Tech. from IIT Bombay.
