Prof. Steven Schneider and Prof. John Sullivan have received national awards from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA).
Prof. Schneider has been selected to receive the AIAA Ground Testing Award for 2012 and was cited for: "exceptional technical contributions and leadership in the advancement and utilization of quiet hypersonic ground test facilities: fostering scientific progress and supporting national technical priorities.” Schneider's work focuses on hypersonic and supersonic laminar-turbulent transition. His research includes the development of the Boeing/AFOSR Mach-6 Quiet Tunnel and associate instrumentation.
Prof. Sullivan is also Director of the Center for Advanced Manufacturing and he has been selected to receive the AIAA Aerodynamic Measurement Technology Award for 2012. His award citation reads: "In recognition of outstanding contributions to pressure- and temperature-sensitive paint-technology development for aerodynamic measurements." Sullivan's work focuses primarily on experimental aerodynamics laser instrumentation, luminescent sensors for temperature and pressure measurements.
Both awards were presented at the 28th AIAA Aerodynamic Measurement Technology, Ground Testing, and Flight Testing Conference, 25-28 June 2012, in New Orleans, LA
