[1] His research involves continuum mechanics, elasticity, and nonlinear partial differential equations.
Antman did his undergraduate studies at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, graduating in 1961.
[3] He was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1978, and with John M. Ball he won the Theodore von Kármán Prize in 1999.
