Professor Ronaldo Borja received the 2016 Maurice A. Biot Medal awarded by the ASCE to an individual who has made outstanding research contributions to the mechanics of porous materials. Ronnie’s medal citation notes "his significant contributions to the development of theoretical and computational framework for saturated and unsaturated porous media, and for bringing to light the role of finite deformation and heterogeneity on the localization of deformation of porous materials."
