Dr. Yassin Hassan, professor in the Department of Nuclear Engineering at Texas A&M University, has been elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

The AAAS Council annually elects members whose “efforts on behalf of the advancement of science or its applications are scientifically or socially distinguished.” Hassan is being honored for his “Distinguished contributions to thermal hydraulics applied to nuclear energy, particularly [his] pioneering work extending the use of particle image velocimetry to multiphase flow measurements.”

Hassan will be recognized Feb. 14 in Chicago during the AAAS Fellows Forum, part of the association’s annual meeting.

Hassan has a joint appointment in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. He received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Alexandria. He earned master’s and Ph.D. degrees in nuclear engineering from the University of Illinois, and a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Virginia.

Dr. Yassin Hahn (shown here, left, receiving the Glen Seaborg Medal from the American Nuclear Society) has been elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

He is a Fellow of the American Nuclear Society (ANS) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). He received the 2004 Thermal Hydraulics Technical Achievement Award of ANS; the George Westinghouse Gold Medal of ASME; the Glenn Murphy Award from the American Society for Engineering Education; and the ANS Glen Seaborg Medal. He is a guest professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China. He is also the editor-in-chief of Nuclear Engineering and Design Journal.

His research interests include computational and experimental thermal hydraulics; reactor safety; two-phase flow; turbulence and laser velocimetry; and imaging techniques.
