COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Dr. William Saric, who will join the faculty of the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Texas A&M University Jan. 1, has been elected a Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA).
Saric comes to Texas A&M from Arizona State University, where he had been a professor of aerospace engineering since 1984. He has also taught at Tohoku University (Japan) and at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, and previously worked at Sandia National Laboratories.
Saric's research interests are in the areas of aerodynamics and fluid dynamics, focusing on hydrodynamic stability, boundary-layer transition and nonlinear waves.
Saric is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Sciences. He received the AGARD (NATO) Scientific Achievement Award in 1996, the G.I. Taylor Medal from the Society of Engineering Science in 1993, and the Fluid Dynamics Award from AIAA in 2003.
Saric holds a B.S. from the Illinois Institute of Technology and a M.S. from the University of New Mexico, both in mechanical engineering. He earned his Ph.D. in mechanics from the Illinois Institute of Technology in 1968.
