K.J. Bathe Award 2023

The K.J. Bathe Award 2023 is for the Best Paper by a Young Researcher in the field of Computational Engineering published in the International Journal of Computers & Structures during 2018-2022.

There were over 100 papers considered for the Award making the task of the Computers & Structures Editorial Board (without Professor Bathe) in judging the papers very difficult. After extensive deliberations and voting it was decided to award the eligible authors of four papers a Bathe Award. Two authors of the fourth paper were eligible for the Award. So five authors and their outstanding papers were recognised. Each author received a certificate and a premium.

The awarded researchers, listed in alphabetical order, have been
