Bo is well known by USC Viterbi Engineering students for merging attractive research experience into his clear and precise teaching on tough subjects. His research focuses on finite element analysis of high-performance composites for automotive and aerospace structures. Bo has been working at MSC NASTRAN (NASA Structural Analysis) and PATRAN Development from 2012 to 2014.
From April to September 2015, Bo is visiting and developing research projects on computational micromechanics at IMDEA Materials Institute in Madrid, Spain. Please join us in congratulating USC Viterbi School of Engineering and USC Gill Composites Center for this special and well-deserved honor. We hope you enjoy the photos from the USC Academic Honor Convocation, and, Fight On!
