Rau has been awarded the Provost’s Undergraduate Research Award (PURA) for his project titled “Atomistic Simulations of Dislocation Mechanisms in Nanotwinned Ni-Mo-W Alloys.”

Frérot received the award for his thesis was on “Bridging Scales in Wear Modeling with Volume Integral Methods for Elastic-Plastic Contact.”

Mittal won the award in recognition of his pioneering work on immersed boundary methods, which played a major role in transforming what was primarily a method developed by applied mathematicians into a powerful tool that has seen widespread adoption by the fluid dynamics and engineering community.

Yun and her team will use the award to develop a first-of-its-kind, tension-sensitive drug release system that targets only diseased cells, leaving healthy cells alone.

  Soojung Claire Hur, the Clare Boothe Luce Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering, was selected by The Hartwell Foundation to receive a 2019 Hartwell Individual Biomedical Research Award. The award helps researchers pursue innovative, early-stage biomedical research with the potential to benefit children of the United States. Hur is one of 12 recipients, representing 11…

Sung Hoon Kang, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, was selected as a fellow for the 2020 Air Force Research Lab Summer Faculty Fellowship Program at AFRL-Materials and Manufacturing. The U.S. Air Force Research Lab Summer Faculty Fellowship Program offers hands-on exposure to Air Force research challenges through 8- to 12-week research residencies at participating Air…

He will be presented with the award at the ASEE Mid-Atlantic Spring 2020 Conference, which will be held from March 27 through 28 at Johns Hopkins University.

Ashutosh Dutta, Michael Miller, and Tza-Huei (Jeff) Wang were recognized for outstanding contributions to IEEE fields of interest.

The award recognizes early stage scholars with high levels of promise and excellence.

This award recognizes eminent achievement or distinguished service in the field of machine design, including application, research, development, or teaching of machine design.

Tryggvason has been named the inaugural recipient of the 2019 Thermal Fluids Engineering Award by the American Society of Thermal and Fluids Engineers (ASTFE). He was presented with the award at the 2019 ASTFE Conference, held April 14-17 in Las Vegas, NV.

Katz was cited "for development of optical methods in experimental fluid mechanics for turbomachinery, cavitation, turbulence, and environmental flows."
