Yu-Lin Shen is currently Professor and Interim Chair in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of New Mexico. He received his Ph.D. in engineering from Brown University in 1994, and was a post-doctoral research associate at Massachusetts Institute of Technology before joining the faculty of University of New Mexico in 1996. Professor Shen is widely recognized for his research in mechanical behavior of materials, especially in modeling. His numerical modeling experience spans disparate length scales from the continuum level down to atomistics, focusing on mechanical issues related to thin films, composite materials and microelectronic devices and packages. He has published over 140 research papers in these areas, mostly in international journals. In 2005 Professor Shen was elected Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).
