Paolucci Named ASME Fellow
Samuel Paolucci, professor of aerospace
and mechanical engineering, was named a 2005 fellow of the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).
A faculty member since 1989, Paolucci specializes in the study of fluid
mechanics, focusing on laminar and turbulent natural convection in enclosures,
stability of flows, nonlinear dynamical systems and chaos, two-phase
flows, and analytical and computational solutions of partial differential
equations.
Fellow is the highest elected grade of membership in ASME and is conferred
upon a member with at least ten years of active engineering practice
who has made significant contributions in the field. While less than
three percent of the membership of the ASME are elected to this level,
Paolucci is the tenth member of Notre Dame’s aerospace and mechanical
engineering faculty to be named a fellow. The others are: Viola D. Hank
Professor Hafiz M. Atassi, Clark Equipment Professor Thomas
C. Corke, Professor Patrick F. Dunn, McCloskey
Dean of Engineering Frank P. Incropera, Roth-Gibson
Professor Emeritus Thomas J. Mueller, Professor John
E. Renaud, Professor Mihir Sen, Professor Emeritus Albin
A. Szewczyk, and Viola D. Hank Professor Emeritus Kwang-Tzu
Yang.
