Imon Chakraborty, assistant professor in aerospace engineering, was elected an Associate Fellow by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, or AIAA.

The AIAA is the world’s largest aerospace technical society, with nearly 30,000 individual members from 91 countries, and 100 corporate members. It is the U.S. representative on the International Council of the Aeronautical Sciences and is the professional society for aerospace engineering.

The grade of Associate Fellow recognizes persons “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.” Associate Fellows comprise just one of every 150 voting members within the organization.

“This is a great honor because it recognizes my research activities as well as my service to the society over the past decade,” said Chakraborty.
