Biographical Sketch
Mohamed Gad-el-Hak received his B.Sc. (summa cum laude) in mechanical engineering from Ain Shams
University in 1966 and his Ph.D. in uid mechanics from the Johns Hopkins University in 1973, where he
worked with Professor Stanley Corrsin. Gad-el-Hak has since taught and conducted research at the University
of Southern California, University of Virginia, University of Notre Dame, Institut National Polytechnique de
Grenoble, Universit de Poitiers, Friedrich-Alexander-Universit t Erlangen-N rnberg, Technische Universit t
e a u a
M nchen, Technische Universit t Berlin, Brandenburgische Technische Universit t Cottbus, and Universit de
u a a e
Valenciennes, and has lectured extensively at seminars in the United States and overseas. Dr. Gad-el-Hak is
currently the Inez Caudill Eminent Professor of biomedical engineering and professor of mechanical & nuclear
engineering at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. From 2002 to 2009, Gad-el-Hak was the chair of
mechanical engineering at VCU. Prior to his Notre Dame appointment as professor of aerospace and mechanical
engineering, Gad-el-Hak was senior research scientist and program manager at Flow Research Company in
Seattle, Washington, where he managed a variety of aerodynamic and hydrodynamic research projects.
Professor Gad-el-Hak is world renowned for advancing several novel diagnostic tools for turbulent ows,
including the laser-induced uorescence technique for ow visualization; for discovering the e cient mechanism
via which a turbulent region rapidly grows by destabilizing a surrounding laminar ow; for conducting the
seminal experiments that detailed the uid compliant surface interactions in turbulent boundary layers; for
introducing the concept of targeted control to achieve drag reduction, lift enhancement and mixing augmentation
in wall-bounded ows; and for developing a novel viscous pump suited for microelectromechanical systems
(MEMS) applications. Gad-el-Hak s work on Reynolds number e ects in turbulent boundary layers, published
in 1994, marked a signi cant paradigm shift in the subject. His 1999 paper on the uid mechanics of microdevices
established the edgling eld on rm physical grounds and is one of the most cited articles of the 1990s. Gad-
el-Hak s recent work on large-scale disasters resulted in the establishment of a universal metric by which the
severity of all natural and manmade disasters is measured.
Gad-el-Hak holds two patents: one for a drag-reducing method for airplanes and underwater vehicles, and the
other for a lift control device for delta wings. Dr. Gad-el-Hak has published over 500 articles; authored/edited
19 books and conference proceedings; and presented 293 invited lectures in the basic and applied research areas
of isotropic turbulence, boundary layer ows, strati ed ows, uid structure interactions, compliant coatings,
unsteady aerodynamics, biological ows, non-Newtonian uids, hard and soft computing including genetic
algorithms, reactive ow control, and microelectromechanical systems. Gad-el-Hak s papers have been cited
more than 2,700 times in the technical literature and his h-index is 23. Some of his work has been translated
into the Czech language, French, German, Japanese, Spanish and Turkish. Gad-el-Hak is the author of the
book Flow Control: Passive, Active, and Reactive Flow Management, and editor of the books Frontiers in
Experimental Fluid Mechanics, Advances in Fluid Mechanics Measurements, Flow Control: Fundamentals and
Practices, The MEMS Handbook ( rst and second editions), Transition and Turbulence Control, and Large-Scale
Disasters: Prediction, Control and Mitigation.
Professor Gad-el-Hak is a fellow of the American Academy of Mechanics, a fellow of the American Institute
of Physics, a fellow and life member of the American Physical Society, a fellow of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers, an associate fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and a
member of the European Mechanics Society. He has recently been inducted as an eminent engineer in Tau Beta
Pi, an honorary member in Sigma Gamma Tau and Pi Tau Sigma, and a member-at-large in Sigma Xi. Dr.
Gad-el-Hak serves as associate editor of Applied Mechanics Reviews (1988 present) and AIAA Journal (1988
1991). He is currently serving as editor-in-chief of e-MicroNano.com; associate editor of e-Fluids; editorial
advisor to Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences, International Journal of Flow Control, CFD Letters and
International Journal of Aerospace Engineering; and contributing editor to Springer-Verlag s Lecture Notes in
Engineering and Lecture Notes in Physics, McGraw-Hill s Year Book of Science and Technology and Encyclopedia
of Science & Technology, and CRC Press Mechanical Engineering Series.
Dr. Gad-el-Hak served as a member of the Executive Committee of the Faculty Senate at the University
of Notre Dame, member of the University Committee on Patents, chair of the Bene ts Committee, and chair
of the University Governance Committee. He serves as consultant to the governments of Algeria, Brazil,
China, Egypt, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Singapore, Sweden and the United States; the United Nations;
and numerous industrial organizations. Professor Gad-el-Hak has been a member of several advisory panels
for the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Aeronautics and Space
1
Administration, and the National Science Foundation. During the 1991/1992 academic year, he was a visiting
professor at Institut de M canique de Grenoble, France. During the summers of 1993, 1994 and 1997, Dr. Gad-
e
el-Hak was, respectively, a distinguished faculty fellow at Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Newport, Rhode
Island; a visiting exceptional professor at Universit de Poitiers, France; and a Gastwissenschaftler (guest
e
scientist) at Forschungszentrum Rossendorf, Dresden, Germany. In 1998, Professor Gad-el-Hak was named
the Fourteenth ASME Freeman Scholar. In 1999, Gad-el-Hak was awarded the prestigious Alexander von
Humboldt Prize Germany s highest research award for worldwide scientists and scholars in all disciplines as
well as the Japanese Government Research Award for Foreign Scholars. In 2002, Gad-el-Hak was named ASME
Distinguished Lecturer, as well as inducted into The Johns Hopkins University Society of Scholars.
