Peter Dewhurst

Dewhurst has won numerous honors during his career, starting with the Mathematics Prize as a graduating senior at the University of Manchester in England, and followed less than one year later by the award of the Sir Charles Reynold Fellowship enabling him to carry out research for the doctoral degree in theoretical mechanics.

Over the intervening years he has carried out research in areas as diverse as material deformation, concept product design, design of structural parts for absolute minimum weight and design of golf equipment. The greatest honor in his career was the award of the National Medal of Technology by the President of the United States.

He has worked as an engineering design consultant for numerous fortune 500 manufacturing companies as well as for NASA and Sandia National Laboratories Satellite Group.

Dewhurst moved from England to the United States in 1980 and spent the bulk of his career in the beautiful state of Rhode Island, teaching and carrying out research programs at the URI College of Engineering.
