Prof. Suresh Menon has been elected an American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Fellow. The AAAS is the world's largest general scientific society and becoming a Fellow is an honor bestowed upon members by their peers. Fellows are recognized for meritorious efforts to advance science or its applications.

Prof. Menon's citation reads: "for distinguished and innovative contributions to the field of multi-scale computational simulation and modeling of turbulent combustion in power and propulsion systems."

Prof. Menon earned his BS and MS in Aeronautical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology and his PhD in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Maryland. He is a world-renowned expert in large-eddy simulation of turbulent reacting and non-reacting flows, and has developed unique simulation capabilities to investigate these processes in propulsion systems such as gas turbines, ramjet, scramjet and rocket engines. He is the Director of the Computational Combustion Laboratory in the School of Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Tech.
