Once a year the UC Berkeley chapter of Pi Tau Sigma chooses an instructor to be named the Professor of the Year and to be presented with the "Excellence in Teaching" award. This award has been awarded for decades to the instructor that has shown the most dedication and support for student learning. Simply lecturing in the classroom is not enough. Those nominated are dedicated to teaching and mentoring the student so that they can be better students, engineers, and members of society.

This year’s award was presented to Professor Tarek Zohdi.  Professor Zohdi has been part of the Berkeley faculty since 2001 with his research focusing on finite element methods, micro-structural/macro-property inverse problems involving optimization and design of new materials and modeling and simulation of: (1) strongly coupled multified processes in multiphase systems (2) granular flows (3) dynamics of high-strength fabric and (4) optical and acoustical scattering in biological systems.

Pi Tau Sigma highly recommends getting to know Professor Zohdi, and if the opportunity arises, to take a class with him.

Thank you Professor Zohdi for your efforts, and CONGRATULATIONS!
