Four Students Win Awards at American Nuclear Society Student Conference

Every year the American Nuclear Society organizes a student conference where undergraduate and graduate students from universities across the country gather to communicate their work. 
This year we sent seven students (five ENRs and two EMEs) to present work done as part of two Bowman Scholar projects, the two capstone teams and one summer internship.  Four of the seven students were recognized by the conference judging committee. You can read about their achievements here.

Prof. Ralph Volino Recently Elected as Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers

Prof. Ralph Volino was recently elected as a Fellow of the ASME for scientific contributions to the understanding and modeling of flow conditions typical for gas turbine blades including rough wall flows, boundary layer transition on curved surfaces in high free stream turbulence, boundary layer separation and reattachment on the suction surface of low pressure turbine airfoils, and turbine blade film cooling.
