A study conducted by Stanford University recently recognized Dr. J.N. Reddy as the most highly cited researcher in the College of Engineering at Texas A&M University and number six worldwide among engineers.
The study analyzed data collected during the period of 1996-2017, covering more than six million scientists in 22 major fields.
Over that period, Reddy also ranked as the third-most cited faculty member in both science and engineering at Texas A&M. The study also showed that in 2017, Reddy's citation ranked first in science and engineering at Texas A&M and third in engineering worldwide.
As of 2018, Reddy ranked 13th in engineering worldwide in addition to maintaining his top rank in the College of Engineering at Texas A&M.
Reddy, National Academy of Engineering member and the Oscar S. Wyatt Endowed Chair Professor in J. Mike Walker ’66 Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M, is the author of 21 textbooks and nearly 700 journal papers, and has been a leader in the applied mechanics field for more than 45 years. He is widely known for his significant contributions to the field of applied mechanics through the authorship of widely used textbooks on the linear and nonlinear finite element analysis, variational methods, composite materials and structures, and continuum mechanics and elasticity.
