Professor George S. Dulikravich has authored and co-authored over 370 technical publications in diverse fields involving computational and analytical fluid mechanics, subsonic, transonic and hypersonic aerodynamics, theoretical and computational electro-magneto-hydrodynamics, conjugate heat transfer including solidification, computational cryobiology, acceleration of iterative algorithms, computational grid generation, multi-disciplinary aero-thermo-structural inverse problems, design and constrained optimization in turbomachinery, and multi-objective optimization of chemical compositions of alloys.

He is the founder and Editor-in-Chief of the international journal on Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering (founded in 1994) and an Associate Editor of three additional journals. He is also the founder, chairman and editor of the sequence of International Conferences on Inverse Design Concepts and Optimization in Engineering Sciences (ICIDES) and International Symposium on Inverse Problems, Design and Optimization (IPDO). Professor Dulikravich is a Fellow of the American Academy of Mechanics, Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and an Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Professor Dulikravich was a member of the Texas Institute for Computational Mechanics (TICOM) at the University of Texas at Austin and a member of the Center for Space Propulsion and the Center for Gas Turbines and Power at the Pennsylvania State University.

He is the founder of the interdepartmental Multidisciplinary Analysis, Inverse Design and Optimization (MAIDO) Institute at the University of Texas at Arlington and the founder of Multidisciplinary Analysis, Inverse Design, Robust Optimization and Control (MAIDROC) Laboratory at Florida International University.
