Greek-born Professor Ares Rosakis, a graduate of Athens College, has won the 2020/2021 Horace Mann Medal for his research and mentoring skills, as well as being “a champion of societal impact that can be realized through the sciences.”
The Medal is awarded during every Commencement to a Brown University graduate school alum who has made significant contributions in their field. Much of his research can be applied to better construction techniques to lessen the effects of earthquakes.
