Samimy Elected as Fellow of AAAS and APS

Posted: 
Mohammed Samimy, professor of Mechanical Engineering, was recently elected as Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). Samimy was recognized for his distinguished contributions to the understanding of compressible turbulence and the development and application of advanced laser-based flow diagnostics and control technologies to aerospace applications.

He was also elected as Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) and recognized for outstanding contributions to the physical understanding and control of high-speed and high Reynolds number free shear flows via developing and using novel control techniques and advanced laser based flow diagnostics. Samimy is the Howard D. Winbigler Designated Professor in Engineering at Ohio State. He also is director of the Gas Dynamics and Turbulence Lab. Samimy’s research focuses on the physics and control of high-speed and high Reynolds number flows in aerospace applications. He has made significant contributions in several areas, including compressibility effects in free shear layers and jets, active and passive control of jets for noise mitigation and mixing enhancement, aeroacoustics, development and application of feedback flow control, and development and application of laser-based flow diagnostics.

In addition to his recent election as Fellow of AAAS and APS, Samimy was elected as Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) in 2009. He is also a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).
