Van Wie Named to National Academy
David Van Wie, an expert in aerospace engineering at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory and research professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, has been elected to the National Academy of Engineering. Van Wie was honored for his contributions to “hypersonic technology enabling new classes of flight vehicles.”
In High Regard
Dennice Gayme, Carol Croft Linde Faculty Scholar and assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, has been selected for the Office of Naval Research’s 2017 Young Investigator Program award and the National Science Foundation CAREER award. Gayme’s ONR research will exploit a reduced order-modeling framework to inform drag reduction strategies for Naval vessels, while her NSF award focuses on modeling, analysis, and control of wall-bounded turbulent flows.
