Dr. Anil Misra is the Chair and Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Florida International University (FIU), Miami. Previously, he served as the Glenn L. Parker-James L. Tyson Professor of Engineering Mechanics at the University of Kansas (KU) and Associate Director of KU's Institute for Bioengineering Research. He also held faculty positions at the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) from 1990 to 2007.
He holds a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur, India (1985), and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Massachusetts Amherst (1988 and 1991). His teaching focuses on engineering mechanics, materials engineering, computer methods, and geotechnical engineering.
Dr. Misra’s research bridges mechanics and materials science, emphasizing granular micromechanics, biomaterials, and geotechnical engineering. His work includes pioneering the granular micromechanics approach (GMA) to model granular materials and metamaterials. He has authored over 350 publications, co-edited four books, and guest-edited six journal special issues. His research has been funded by governmental agencies and industry.
He has received the 2017 Eugenio Beltrami Senior Scientist Prize for contributions to granular micromechanics and a 2018 Fulbright Specialist award. He actively serves on editorial boards, technical committees, and provides industry consulting. His lab explores interdisciplinary topics like dental adhesives, metamaterials, and computational mechanics.
