Mazumder Elected As Fellow of ASME

Sandip Mazumder, associate professor of Mechanical Engineering, was recently elected as Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Mazumder was recognized for his distinguished contributions in three important mechanical engineering fields:  His early groundbreaking work on the interactions between turbulence and thermal radiation remains the foundation for this important topic in the field of combustion; his rigorous models of PEM fuel cells have had great impact and have been used by many researchers and widely cited, and his pioneering work on application of the Monte Carlo method to solution of the Boltzmann Transport Equation for phonons forms the basis of later research by others. Associate Professor Mazumder has also made extensive contributions to the mechanical engineering profession and ASME.
