Freund Elected to SES Board of Directors

Associate Professor Jonathan Freund has been elected to the Society of Engineering Science (SES) Board of Directors. SES promotes interactions between various disciplines in engineering, sciences, and mathematics. Members of its board serve three-year terms. Freund's research in fluid mechanics is highly interdisciplinary. Current activities include jet noise control, simulation and analysis of aeroacoustic resonances in jet engine test cells, tissue injury during shock-wave lithotripsy, the dynamics of atomically thin liquid films, the flow of large numbers of blood cells in the microcirculation, simulation of advanced solid rocket motors, thermal transport at crystal lattice boundaries, self-healing hydrodynamics in autonomic composites, and ion machining of semiconductor materials.
