Dr. Aidun
is currently Professor
of Fluid Mechanics and Biotransport at the Woodruff School of Mechanical
Engineering at the Georgia Institute
of Technology. He is the former director of the Particulat and Multiphase
Processes program at the National Science Foundation. Professor Aidun's
research activities have earned him the 1990 George Olmsted Award
and
the 1992
National Science
Foundation's
Young Investigator (NYI) award. Dr. Aidun is active in a number of
committees and professional societies, including the Division of Fluid
Dynamics of the American Physical Society, The Fundamentals Coating
Committee, and the Fluid Mechanics Committee of the Technical Association
of the Pulp and Paper Industry,
and the International Coating Research Association.
He obtained
his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and
his Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Clarkson University
in 1985. He joined Cornell University's Chemical Eng. Dept. in 1985
as a Postdoctoral Research Associate and a Research Fellow of the Mathematical
Sciences Institute. He was appointed as a Senior Research Consultant
in computational fluid dynamics at the National Science Foundation's
Supercomputer Center at Cornell University. After leaving Cornell in
1987, Dr. Aidun spent a year at Battelle Research Laboratories,
joined the Institute of Paper Science and Technology (IPST) in 1988
as a faculty member, and joined Georgia Tech. in 2003 as Professor of Mechanical
Engineering.
