A Cambridge engineer responsible for transformational research in soil mechanics is to be honoured by the Royal Academy of Engineering for his sustained achievements throughout a 50-year career.
Andrew Schofield, an emeritus professor of civil engineering at the University of Cambridge, is being recognised for the profound impact of his research, which includes pioneering the use of centrifuge modelling in geotechnical and civil engineering.
He will receive the Sir Frank Whittle Medal at the academy’s annual meeting in London on 5 September.
