AIAA Announces Samimy as 2009 Fellow
The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) announced the election of Mohammad Samimy as a 2009 AIAA Fellow. Election to the rank of Fellow recognizes members for their notable and valuable contributions to the art, science and technology of aeronautics and astronautics.
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 physical understanding and control of high-speed and high Reynolds number flows. 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.
Samimy has advised about 50 post-doctoral researchers and graduate students. He has published more than 200 technical papers, has given invited talks in many national and international conferences, and has lectured extensively in various universities, national laboratories and industry in the United States and abroad.
The AIAA recognized Samimy and 29 other Fellows at the Aerospace Spotlight Awards Gala in Washington, D.C. on May 13, 2009.
