Professor Livne's specialty is in the areas of Flight Vehicle Design & Design Optimization, general Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO), Aeroelasticity, Aeroservoelasticity, Unsteady Aerodynamics and Structural Dynamics. He joined the University of Washington in 1990 and is a full Professor in the department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Professor Livne's research work was supported over the years by NASA, the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Navy, the National Science Foundation, The Federal Aviation Administration, and the Boeing Company. He has been a consultant to various aerospace firms including Boeing/commercial and the NASA/Boeing HSCT project, in which he was a member of the HSCT aeroelastic concept evaluation team and aeroservoelastic working group. Professor Livne's earlier professional experience, from 1975 to 1984, covers research and development in aerospace technology with the Israeli Air Force and in collaboration with Israeli and American aerospace companies.
Professor Livne studied Aeronautical Engineering and Engineering Education at the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology (BS, 1974, High School Teaching Credential, 1974, and M.Sc., 1982). He received a PhD degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1990.
Professor Livne's awards and honors include the ASME/Boeing Structures & Materials Award, April 1998, for the best paper given at the 38th AIA&A/ASME/ASCE/AHS/ASC Structures, "Structural Dynamics and Materials Conference", April 1997; NSF National Young Investigator Award, 1992-1997; UCLA School of Engineering and Applied Science Outstanding PhD 1989-90; and the 1987-1988 Josephine de Karman Fellowship. Professor Livne is an associate editor of the AIAA Journal.
