Join us as we celebrate Professor Emeritus Edward L. Wilson’s 80th birthday and his immeasurable contributions to the field of structural engineering. Since the 1960s, Professor Wilson has been at the forefront of modern computerized structural analysis, responsible for imagining, creating and implementing numerical methods for static and dynamic analysis that have revolutionized the way structural engineers work. His early research was truly groundbreaking and he continued to develop solver technology, optimization routines, and dynamic solutions that increased the accuracy and quality of the work produced by professionals in the field. Although Professor Wilson's influence is greatly felt throughout all of CSI's products, perhaps a better measure of the significance of his contributions is to recognize that virtually every piece of modern structural analysis software contains some technology that can be traced back to his original research and development.

CSI will honor Professor Wilson at a reception at the Annual Convention of the Structural Engineers Association of California on Friday, September 23 at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, NV. The reception will feature carving stations, sushi, hors d'oeuvres and a fully hosted bar and will be followed by the full-length performance of Cirque du Soleil's "O". This event is free to fully registered conference participants!
