Throughout his three-decade academic career, Andrew Pollard (Mechanical and Materials Engineering) has worked to establish networks that support international collaborations. Those efforts and his research contributions in the field of fluid dynamics have earned him a fellowship in the American Physical Society.
카지노 게임 컬렉션The fluid dynamics research community in Canada is small. I have long held the view that reaching out to others around the world is the best way to keep the community and my research vibrant,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Pollard, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Research Chair in Fluid Dynamics and Multi-scale Phenomena.

To foster those international collaborations, Dr. Pollard has hosted international conferences at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and elsewhere and visited laboratories around the world during his sabbaticals. He has also reached out to colleagues at other universities, which resulted in annual meetings of fluid dynamics researchers.
Making international connections offers additional benefits beyond advancing his research, according to Dr. Pollard.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Our students get to see their work is just as good if not better than their peers around the world,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he explains. 카지노 게임 컬렉션And I have found that our graduate students go on to work at other universities often based on the contacts they have made while conducting research here at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Dr. Pollard카지노 게임 컬렉션s international work dates back to his graduate school days when he embarked on a PhD in England. During his doctoral work, he used both computers and experiments to understand turbulence and fluid mechanics problems. This synergistic approach has been a hallmark of Dr. Pollard카지노 게임 컬렉션s research career ever since, which the American Physical Society fellowship celebrates.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I take two approaches to the subject matter. As an engineer, I am focused on the application side, and I have been recognized as a fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers for that work,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션It카지노 게임 컬렉션s really icing on the cake to receive the fellowship from the American Physical Society honoring my theoretical research into the intricacies of the flow physics of fluid dynamics and especially turbulence.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Dr. Pollard accepted the fellowship at the on Nov. 23 in San Francisco.
