Parviz Moin
Parviz Moin (born October 23, 1952 in Tehran ) is an Iranian-American engineer who deals in particular with turbulence .
Moin graduated from the University of Minnesota with a bachelor's degree in engineering in 1974 and Stanford University , where he received his doctorate in mechanics in 1978. As a post-doctoral student he was at the Ames Research Center of NASA, 1980 to 1982 Assistant Professor at Stanford University, 1982 to 1986 again at the Ames Research Center and from 1986 and 1989 professor at Stanford. There he has been Director of the Center for Turbulence Research since 1987.
He was a pioneer in direct and large eddy simulation of turbulence.
In 1996 he received the American Physical Society's Hydrodynamics Prize and the Humboldt Research Prize . He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences (2011), the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2010) and the National Academy of Engineering and is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). He received the AIAA Fluid Dynamics Award and the AIAA Lawrence Sperry Award. In 1985 he received the NASA Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal and he received the NASA Outstanding Leadership Medal. He is an honorary doctorate from the Polytechnic University of Madrid .
He is a co-editor of the Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics .
