Born in Mexico City, Rosenblueth was the only child of Emilio Rosenblueth Stearns and Charlotte Deutsch Kleinman.[1] They came to Mexico from Hungary as refugees before he was born.
Emilio Rosenblueth grew up in a family of leading researchers, so from an early age he was inclined towards the sciences. He became interested in seismic phenomena due to the location of his hometown and its high propensity for earthquake activity. He began his university studies at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM for its name in Spanish) where he obtained a bachelor's degree in 1948. He received a master's degree in 1949 and a PhD in 1951 from the University of Illinois.[2]
He was an advisor to Unesco and the Organization of American States (OAS) on seismic and scientific research. He was a member of Mexican and foreign academies and associations, such as the Academia de la Investigación Científica, the Colegio de Ingenieros Civiles de México, the Sociedad Mexicana de Ingeniería Sísmica, the Sociedad Mexicana de Mecánica de Suelos, the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Concrete Institute, the Seismological Society of America, the International Association for Earthquake Engineering, the Asociación Latinoamerican de Sismología e Ingeniería Antisísmica, the Unión Panamericana de Asociaciones de Ingenieros, and the National Academy of Sciences of the United States.[3]
