Congratulations to Prof. Adrian BEJAN, former Visiting Chair Professor of Engineering Science under the Distinguished Chair Professor Scheme at PolyU, for being honoured the ASME Medal 2024 by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). This prestigious accolade recognition is the highest honour awarded that the Society can bestow and is to recognize "eminently distinguished engineering achievement". Only one ASME Medal may be awarded annually. The ASME will present Prof. Adrian with the medal at International Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition (IMECE) in Portland, Oregon, on 19 November 2024.
Prof. Adrian is honoured for unprecedented creativity, breadth, and permanent impact on engineering; for developments in the new science of energy, motion, form, and evolution; and for building bridges to design in biological, geophysical, and sociological systems. An eminent scholar in Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer and Constructal Law of Evolution in Nature, he is credited with several groundbreaking developments. Prof. Adrian holds a position among the top 0.01% of most-cited and impactful scientists, is the sixth most impactful scholar in mechanical engineering worldwide, and the 11th across all engineering disciplines, according to the citations impact database in PLOS Biology.
Founded in 1880, ASME is a not-for-profit professional organization that enables collaboration, knowledge sharing, and skill development across all engineering disciplines, while promoting the vital role of the engineer in society. ASME codes and standards, publications, conferences, continuing education, and professional development programs provide a foundation for advancing technical knowledge and a safer world.
