For half a century, Dr. Jack Cermak has been instrumental in developing our understanding of how wind interacts with buildings and structures.
In the early 1960s, as a professor at Colorado State University (CSU), Dr. Cermak founded the Wind Engineering and Fluid Mechanics graduate program and, throughout his career, chaired the research committees of more than 50 doctoral candidates.
In 1986, CSU named Dr. Cermak a Distinguished Professor and in 2002,
the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) established the Jack E. Cermak Medal for outstanding contributions in wind engineering.
Through his teaching, publications, presentations, and consultations, Dr. Cermak has created a lasting impression on the field of engineering and has guided and inspired many of the world’s engineering leaders.
Please join us in congratulating Dr. Jack Cermak on his extraordinary career and wishing him the very best as President Emeritus.
