Martin Ostoja-Starzewski is a professor of Mechanical Science & Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He received his undergraduate education at Cracow University of Technology and Master’s and Ph.D. degrees at McGill University.

Ostoja-Starzewski is known for research in mechanics/physics of random and fractal media, including scaling to representative elementary volume in (non)linear material systems, formulation of a universal elastic anisotropy index, wave propagation, tensor random fields, and bridging continuum mechanics to spontaneous violations of the second law of thermodynamics.

He is Fellow of ASME, American Academy of Mechanics, Society of Engineering Science, and Associate Fellow of AIAA. In 2018 he received the Worcester Reed Warner Medal of ASME. Until 2005 he held the first Canada Research Chair (Tier 1) in engineering at McGill University. In 2014 he became Site co-Director of the NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Novel High Voltage/Temperature Materials and Structures. He served on the Executive Committee of ISIMM (2013-2016).

He serves as Editor of Acta Mechanica, Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Thermal Stresses, Chair Managing Editor of Mathematics and Mechanics of Complex Systems, and Associate Editor of Mechanics Research Communications. He has been a member of editorial boards of several other journals.
