Satish Dhawan was an Indian mathematician and aerospace engineer,widely regarded as the father of experimental fluid dynamics research in India. Born in Srinagar,Dhawan was educated in India and further on in United States. Dhawan was one of the most eminent researchers in the field of turbulence and boundary layers,leading the successful and indigenous development of the Indian space programme. He succeeded M. G. K. Menon,as the third chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in 1972.
Dr. Ramulu Mamidala is a mechanical engineering professor at University of Washington. Usually goes by the name 'Ram',or 'M.R.',he is recognized for his leadership and outstanding record in promoting collaborative education and research with industry. He is currently the director of Manufacturing Science and Technology Laboratory (MSTL) at Mechanical Engineering Department,University of Washington. He has designed and developed manufacturing methods for a wide range of systems,from the B2 bomber to the Boeing 787. Additionally,in collaboration with industry,he established and directed two interdisciplinary graduate educational programs in engineering and management and a certificate program in composites tooling and manufacturing. His exemplary collaborative efforts motivated working engineers to pursue doctoral studies and he is a leader in using emerging technologies in distance education to reach non-traditional students.
Khajeh Nasir al-Din Toosi University of Technology (KNTU),also known as K. N. Toosi University of Technology,is a public research university in Tehran,Iran. It is named after medieval Persian scholar Khajeh Nasir Toosi. The university is considered one of the most prestigious institutions of higher education in Iran. Acceptance to the university is highly competitive,entrance to undergraduate and graduate programs typically requires scoring among the top 1% of students in the Iranian University Entrance Exam.

Professor Bhagavatula Dattaguru is an Indian engineer and academic. He has received several awards,including the Padma Shri Award,India's fourth highest civilian honour in 2005 in the field of science and engineering.
Elaine Surick Oran is an American physical scientist and is considered a world authority on numerical methods for large-scale simulation of physical systems. She has pioneered computational technology to solve complex reactive flow problems,unifying concepts from science,mathematics,engineering,and computer science in a new methodology. An incredibly diverse range of phenomena can be modeled and better understood using her techniques for numerical simulation of fluid flows,ranging from the tightly grouped movements of fish in Earth's oceans to the explosions of far-flung supernovae in space. Her work has contributed significantly to the advancement of the engineering profession.
Eugene Wong is a Chinese-American computer scientist and mathematician. Wong's career has spanned academia,university administration,government and the private sector. Together with Michael Stonebraker and a group of scientists at IBM,Wong is credited with pioneering database research in the 1970s from which software developed by IBM,Microsoft,and Oracle descends. Wong retired in 1994,since then holding the title of Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at University of California,Berkeley.
