Richard D. James (born 1952) is a mechanician and materials scientist. He is currently the Russell J. Penrose Professor and Distinguished McKnight University Professor at the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics at the University of Minnesota.[1]
James is known for his research in phase transitions,[2][3][4] especially reversible transformation in martensitic materials, including cases in which the phase transition is highly reversible and one phase is strongly magnetic or strongly ferroelectric.
James was educated at Brown University in 1974 and received his PhD from Johns Hopkins University in 1979 under the direction of J.L. Ericksen.[5] He was a professor of engineering at Brown University before moving to the University of Minnesota in 1985.
