Gretar Tryggvason, Viola D. Hank Professor of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering and division chair at the University of Notre Dame, has been named a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in honor of his efforts toward advancing science applications that are deemed scientifically or socially distinguished.
AAAS, founded in 1848 as a nonprofit association, is the world’s largest scientific society and publisher of the prestigious journal Science.
Tryggvason was cited for “the advancement of numerical approaches to track the motion of fluid interfaces and innovative approaches to undergraduate engineering schooling.”
Tryggvason is best recognized for creating a front-tracking approach for direct numerical simulations of multiphase flows and the use of this approach to examine a number of techniques, which includes bubbly flows, droplet movement and boiling. His investigation interests encompass multiphase and totally free surface flows phase modifications, which includes boiling and solidification vortex flows and combustion and numerical approaches. He is the author of a lot more than one hundred journal papers and numerous other publications, is editor-in-chief of the Journal of Computational Physics and has supervised more than twenty doctoral dissertations. He holds two patents.
Tryggvason is a fellow of the American Bodily Society and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and his other study recognitions incorporate the Computational Mechanics Award from the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers in 2005 and the ASME’s Fluids Engineering Award in 2012. He has been concerned in several curriculum reforms at each the undergraduate and graduate level, which includes assisting to set up the initial U.S. undergraduate system in robotics engineering. He also served as the general chair of the 2008 Global Mechanical Engineering Education Conference.
Prior to joining the University, Tryggvason served as head of the Division of Mechanical Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and as an assistant, associate and full professor of mechanical engineering and applied mechanics at the University of Michigan. He has also held quick-term visiting positions at the California Institute of Technological innovation, NASA’s Lewis Research Center, the University of Marseilles and the University of Paris VI.
Tryggvason earned his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering at the University of Iceland in 1980. He earned his master’s and doctorate in mechanical engineering at Brown University in 1982 and 1985, respectively.
The tradition of AAAS fellows began in 1874, and this 12 months the association is honoring 388 individuals as fellows. At the moment, members can be regarded for the rank of fellow if nominated by the steering group of the association’s 24 sections, by 3 fellows, or by the association’s chief executive officer. Each and every steering group then reviews the nominations of individuals inside of its respective segment and forwards a last record to the AAAS Council.
The AAAS Council votes on the last aggregate record. The council is the policymaking physique of the association, chaired by the president, and consisting of the members of the board of directors, the retiring section chairs, delegates from each electorate and every regional division, and two delegates from the Nationwide Academies of Science.
Tryggvason will be presented with an official certificate and gold and blue (representing science and engineering, respectively) rosette pins on Feb. 15 (Saturday) for the duration of the 2013 AAAS annual meeting in Chicago.
