Oana Cazacu is a Charles E. Taylor Professor of Mechanics in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Florida's Graduate Research Engineering and Education Center (UF/REEF). She has Habilitation and Doctoral degrees from University of Lille, France, and has been the recipient of visiting chair professorships in Europe and Australia She is currently the recipient of the Chair of Excellence in Mechanics at the University Carlos III of Madrid, Associate Editor of the International Journal of Material Forming, has edited or co-edited three books, and authored or co-authored over 130 refereed papers. Her main research interests are in theoretical solid mechanics with an emphasis on multiscale modelling of dissipative mechanisms in anisotropic materials. Major contributions include the development of widely-used anisotropic criteria for lightweight metals, now included in the built-in materials library of commercial and academic finite-element software.
