Mete Sozen is Kettelhut Distinguished Professor of Structural Engineering at Purdue University, Indiana, United States.[1]

Besides his academic interest in the development of design codes for concrete structures, Sozen is notable for his contributions to the official post 9/11–government studies of terrorist attacks, including the Oklahoma City bombing, and The Pentagon.[2][3] Sozen also led a team that created an engineering simulation of American Airlines Flight 11 crashing into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. The computer–animated visualizations were made entirely from the simulation data.[4]

Sozen received his undergraduate education at Robert College and his master's and doctoral degrees from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, where he served on the faculty from 1957 through 1992.[5]
