UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering faculty elected to National Academy of Engineering
Date:2/10/2012

Three faculty members in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California, San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering have been elected to the National Academy of Engineering. Peter C. Farrell, founder, chairman and CEO of ResMed, and a member of the Council of Advisors of the Dean of the Jacobs School, also was elected to the academy.

"Election to the National Academy of Engineering is one of the highest professional honors accorded an engineer. I am very pleased that the research contributions of four engineers affiliated with the Jacobs School have been recognized by the academy this year," said Frieder Seible, Dean of the Jacobs School of Engineering at UC San Diego.

Juan C. Lasheras has been elected for "studies of atomization, turbulent mixing, and heat transfer and for the development of medical devices."

Lasheras is an international expert working at the intersection of mechanics, biology and medicine. He has made pioneering contributions to the design of novel medical devices; the mechanics of cell migration and invasion; the study of turbulent and two-phase flows; and the efficiency of jet engine propulsion.

Robert Skelton has been elected "for contributions to robust control, system identification, and methodology for control-structure interaction." Skelton is a leading theorist, whose work combines the disciplines of structures and controls. He has been involved with Skylab and the Hubble Space Telescope as well as a variety of projects here on Earth, from robots to red blood cells.

Mike Baskes has been elected "for contributions to the embedded atom method for predicting the structure and properties of metals and alloys." Baskes uses computational methods to investigate material properties and has developed models that predict the behavior of helium in metals as well as a model that explains hydrogen isotope recombination.
