Atlantic University in 1973. He earned his master’s in engineering and his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering at The Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C., in 1976 and 1986, respectively.
He is a Fellow of the ASME and a Member of the Acoustical Society of America.
Michael R. Moldover
Michael R. Moldover honored by ASME
Michael R. Moldover, NIST Fellow and leader of the Fluid Metrology Group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, was award- ed the Yeram S. Touloukian Award by the ASME in 2012. He was recognized for outstanding contributions as an experimentalist who, over the last 35 years, has had a tremendous funda- mental impact in both the equilibrium and transport areas of the thermophys- ical properties field. The award recog- nizes outstanding technical contribu- tions in the field of thermophysical properties.
Dr. Moldover joined the National Bureau of Standards, now the National Institute of Standards and Technology, in 1972. He has been a NIST Fellow since 1995 and leader of the Fluid Metrology Group, now in the Sensor Science Division, since 2004. Under his leadership, NIST’s Fluid Metrology Group measured the properties of replacements for ozone-layer-damag- ing refrigerants and the properties of
reactive gases used in semiconductor processing. Now, the group is studying nozzles to improve flow standards, measuring the CO2 in flue gases emit- ted by coal-burning power plants, and developing methods to measure rapid- ly changing fluid flows.
Dr. Moldover received his bache- lor’s degree in physics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1961. He earned his master’s degree and Ph.D. in physics at Stanford University, California, in 1962 and 1966, respec- tively. He is a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America and has authored more than 150 peer-reviewed papers.
Dr. Moldover’s awards include the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bronze (1980), Silver (1982), Gold (1987) and Silver (2011) medals; NIST’s Samuel Wesley Stratton Award for Research Excellence (1988) and Chemical Science and Technology Laboratory Technical Achievement Award (2005); and the U.S. Office of Personnel Management’s Presidential Rank Award (2009).
Victor Zue honored by IEEE
Victor Zue, the Delta Electronics Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT and former Director of the Institute's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) from 2007 - 2011 (and co-director of CSAIL since its inception in 2004), is the recipient of
Theodore M. Farabee
Theodore Farabee awarded ASME’s Per Bruel Gold Medal
Theodore M. Farabee, a chief sci- entist in the Signatures Department of the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division (NSWCCD) in West Bethesda, MD, was awarded the Per Bruel Gold Medal for Noise Control and Acoustics by the American Society for Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Established in honor of Dr. Per Bruel, who pioneered the development of sophisticated noise and vibration measuring and process- ing equipment, the medal recognizes eminent achievement and extraordi- nary merit in the field of noise control and acoustics.
Dr. Farabee was recognized for significant accomplishments in fluid mechanics, aero-hydrodynamics, com- plex propulsor fluid mechanics flow interactions and platform structure- elastic interactions; particularly leader- ship in the understanding and control of induced sound, and work on ship and submarine flow-noise reduction.
Dr. Farabee is the U.S. Navy’s sen- ior research scientist/technical consult- ant (ST) for radiated flow noise signa- ture control. In this position, he is responsible for the conduct of broad- based, multidisciplinary research, inte- grating all aspects of acoustic signa- tures and related mitigation technolo- gies for application to ships and sub- marines. He earned his bachelor’s degree in ocean engineering at Florida
