AE student Brandon Boyce, a Tau Beta Pi member, said Bodony was nominated following his recent National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) Award for his project researching the aeroacoustics of the human voice, and because of his recent work in jet noise control. “We believed that these accomplishments made him the most qualified professor for this award,” Boyce said.

Each semester, the Illinois chapter chooses one outstanding College of Engineering professor to induct as the Eminent Engineer. Tau Beta Pi is the national engineering honor society recognizing distinguished scholarship and character in undergraduate and graduate students pursuing studies in engineering.

Bodony has been an AE faculty member since 2006, having earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Purdue University in 1997 and 1999, respectively, and his PhD from Stanford University in 2004. His research interests are aeroacoustics, compressible turbulence, wave propagation, fluid-structure interaction, aerothermoelasticity, numerical algorithms for massively parallel computing, and computational fluid mechanics.
