UNM professor receives highest award given to mechanical
engineers
Marc
Ingber, professor and chair of the Mechanical Engineering Department at the
University of New Mexico, has been elected as a Fellow in the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). This is the highest honor given by the governing
body of ASME, which consists of more than 130,000 members. Only two percent
of its members are elected as fellows.
Criteria for this engineering achievement include: Industrial leadership, project
management, engineering product application, design, research and development,
educational leadership, teaching publications and consulting.
“Dr. Ingber exceeded all levels and has made major contributions at UNM
in the areas of educational leadership, research and development, technical
publications and providing consulting services to industrial firms and governmental
agencies,” said Cecilia G. Aragon, department administrator for the Mechanical
Engineering Department.
Ingber received his Ph.D. in applied mechanics from the University of Michigan. He was the Director of the Albuquerque High Performance Computing Center from 1997 to 1999 and has an international reputation in high-end computing. He earned the 1994 Gordon Bell Prize for high performance computing performance. His research interest are concentrated in computational fluid mechanics where he has performed studies on multiphase flows, flow fields about three-dimensional cavitating bodies, selective withdrawal from stratified reservoirs, acoustic shape optimization, and vorticity methods for the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations. He is the author of more than 90 technical publications, sits on the editorial board of two international journals in numerical methods, and has been a member of more than 15 scientific advisory boards for international conferences.
