Mohammad Ayoubi Named ASME Fellow
Mohammad Ayoubi, associate professor of mechanical engineering has been named an ASME Fellow in recognition of his significant engineering achievements in dynamics and control of aerospace vehicles, curriculum development, and service to his professional society. A distinct honor, this achievement is reserved for only 2.8% of ASME's 140,000 members. Nominated by ASME members and fellows, an ASME member has to have 10 or more years of active practice, at least 10 years of active corporate membership in ASME and have significant achievements in the field of engineering, according to the ASME website.
Dr. Ayoubi—who joined Santa Clara University's faculty in 2008—is an expert in dynamics and control of aerospace vehicles. In addition to teaching undergraduate and graduate courses, he is the director of the Dynamics and Control Systems Laboratory, where undergraduates, graduate, and Ph.D. students advance modeling, simulation, and control of aerospace and mechanical systems, focusing on theoretical investigation of highly complex and uncertain aerospace and mechanical systems.
With this honor, Ayoubi joins fellow mechanical engineering faculty who have been honored by ASME: Fellows Christopher Kitts and Godfrey Mungal, as well as Honorary Member Terry Shoup.
