Corke Elected Fellow of ASME

Earlier this year Thomas C. Corke was elected a fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Conferred upon a member with a minimum of 10 years of active engineering service who has also made significant contributions to the field, the rank of fellow is the highest level of membership in the ASME.

Corke is the eighth member of the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering to receive such a designation. Other members of the department named fellows of the ASME are Viola D. Hank Professor Hafiz M. Atassi, Professor Patrick F. Dunn, McCloskey Dean of Engineering Frank P. Incropera, Professor Emeritus Thomas J. Mueller, Professor John E. Renaud, Professor Emeritus Albin A. Szewczyk, and Professor Emeritus Kwang-Tzu Yang.

A faculty member since 1999, Corke is the Clark Equipment Professor of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering. He also serves as the director of Notre Dame's Center for Flow Physics and Control and director of the Hessert Laboratory for Aerospace Research. Corke’s research interests are in the area of fluid mechanics, particularly hydrodynamic stability, the transition of laminar flow to turbulent flow, computational fluid dynamics, aeroacoustics, unsteady flows, wind tunnel design, and image data acquisition and time-series processing.
