2006-2007 ASME Fellows..., The

Mechanical Engineering, Nov 2007

Cengiz Camci

Cengiz Camci has enjoyed a career of over 20 years. After receiving his doctorate, he joined the faculty at Pennsylvania State University, and reached the rank of professor in 2000. He directs the PSU Turbomachinery laboratory and has initiated several new graduate courses. Camci participates in ASME/IGTI/HTD and collaborates with the gas turbine industry. He has published over 100 papers, receiving best-paper awards from HTD and ASME/IGTI Education Committees. He is a mission consultant to NATO/ AGARD. Ph.D. (1985), Von Karman Inst./KUL Belgium.

Jian Cao

Jian Cao has made substantial contributions to the field of metal and composites forming in several relevant aspects of material behavior, process modeling and process control. She has made significant contributions in both computational modeling as well as experimental testing. Cao has served as officer in both the ASME Applied Mechanics Division and the ASME Manufacturing Engineering Division, and recently as an executive committee member of MED. She has been a recognized figure in promoting manufacturing research and education. She has received many awards, including the NSF Career award, the SME Young Manufacturing Engineer award and the ASME Applied Mechanics Young Investigator Award. Ph.D. (1995), Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Campbell Duncan Carter

Campbell Duncan Carter's work with laser diagnostics has helped advance the understanding of turbulencechemistry interactions. Resulting measurements have advanced the state of the art in modeling of turbulent flames. He is a leader in the application of laser diagnostics to a variety of harsh flowfields, including supersonic ramjet combustors, supersonic flows over cavity flameholders, and large-scale windtunnels, to characterize the flow over models (delta wings, unmanned air vehicles, etc.). He has developed novel imaging diagnostics for the study of complex turbulent flowfields. Diagnostics include planar Doppler velocimetry and combined fluorescence (e.g., of CH radical) and particle image velocimetry for flames. Ph.D. (1990), Purdue University.

John C. Chai

John C. Chai has made significant contributions to the development and application of numerical methods to model various transport phenomena. These include, but are not limited to, radiation heat transfer, wet chemical etching, digital microfluidics, two-phase flow, electrokinetic effects in microchannels and turbulent flows. He has published over one hundred technical articles with about half in archival journals. His work on radiation heat transfer is widely cited and the resulting computer program is widely used. He has also written two book chapters on the subject. As a result of his work, the finite-volume method for radiation heat transfer has been incorporated into a number of commercial CFD codes. He is a member of the ASME K6 committee and the Membership Development and Recognition Committee. Ph.D. (1994), University of Minnesota.

Liming Chang

Liming Chang has conducted research in contactmechanics and lubrication fundamentals since 1986. His main research contributions lie in modeling and experimentation of elastohydrodynamic (EHL), mixed and boundary lubrication problems. His results have been published widely, primarily in the ASME Journal of Tribology and Tribology Transactions. His research achievements include modeling of micro-EHL and mixed lubrication with thermal and transient effects; analysis of lubricant rheological behavior on EHL and microEHL responses; micro-contact mechanics and boundary lubrication modeling; modeling of contact and lubrication problems with optimal balance between accuracy and practicality; and chemical-mechanical polishing. Ph.D. (1988), University of Illinois.
