Jeffrey Bons Elected ASME Fellow

Posted: 
Jeffrey Bons, professor of Aerospace Engineering, was recently elected a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). The citation included with the nomination for Bons’ ascension to Fellow grade reads: "Jeffrey Bons is an internationally recognized research and engineer in the areas of roughness in gas turbine engines with regard to its characterization, the evolution of particulate deposition, and its influence on heat transfer and aerodynamics. He has also conducted seminal research in low pressure turbine separation control, the influence of high intensity turbulence on film cooling and the acquisition of flow and heat transfer data in rotating turbine passages. Six of his papers have won best paper awards in IGTI’s Gas Turbine Heat Transfer Committee and one in ASME’s Heat Transfer Committee. Bons has won a number of other awards in teaching and research and he has maintained a high level of professional involvement in ASME."

Much of Bons' research is conducted at Ohio State's Aeronautical and Astronautical Research Laboratories. The complete list of Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering faculty who are ASME Fellows can be found on our Academy and Fellow Grade Memberships web page.
