The Combustion Institute has announced that two professors from the Georgia Tech Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering -- Tim Lieuwen and Prof. Suresh Menon -- have been elected Fellows.
Established in 2017 by the Combustion Institute, the Fellow moniker recognizes recipients’ outstanding contributions to combustion research, applications, or both. The inaugural class of 125 CI Fellows included two other AE faculty who fit that description: Prof. Vigor Yang and Prof. Ben T. Zinn.
William R. T. Oakes School Chair Mark Costello was quick to add his praise.
“Tim and Suresh been pushing the field forward for decades, each earning the respect of their peers in the combustion community from around the world,” said Costello. “The AE School applauds the Institute’s decision to recognize them both.”

| Prof. Suresh Menon |
A Regents Professor and member of the National Academy of Engineering, Lieuwen also serves as the director of Georgia Tech's Strategic Energy Institute and has was recently named the Technical Chair for the Combustion Institute’s 38th International Symposium, which will be held in Adelaide, Australia in July of 2020. His research interests lie in the areas of acoustics, fluid mechanics, and combustion. He works closely with industry and government, particularly focusing on fundamental problems that arise out of development of clean
combustion systems or utilization of alternative fuels.
Currently the Hightower Professor of Engineering at Georgia Tech, Menon is a world-renowned expert in large-eddy simulation of turbulent reacting and non-reacting flows and has developed unique simulation capabilities to study pollutant formation, ozone depletion in high-altitude aircraft jet plumes and combustion in gas turbine and ramjet engines.
