The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) this week announced its Class of 2019 Associate Fellows - a list that includes some familiar faces for the Georgia Tech Aerospace Engineering School. In addition to incoming AE associate professor Adam Steinberg, the Class of 2019 will also include Lockheed Martin vice president for Engineering and Technical Operations, Ron Bessire, a longstanding member of the Aerospace Engineering School Advisory Board (AESAC), and adjunct AE professor Marcus Holzinger

AIAA will formally honor and induct the class at its AIAA Associate Fellows Recognition Ceremony and Dinner on Monday, 7 January 2019, in San Diego during its 2019 AIAA Science and Technology Forum and Exposition (AIAA SciTech Forum).

The grade of Associate Fellow recognizes individuals “who have accomplished or been in charge of important engineering or scientific work, or who have done original work of outstanding merit, or who have otherwise made outstanding contributions to the arts, sciences, or technology of aeronautics or astronautics.” To be selected as an Associate Fellow an individual must be an AIAA Senior Member in good standing, with at least twelve years professional experience, and be recommended by a minimum of three current Associate Fellows.
