A. K. M. Fazle Hussain (bn|এ.কে.এম. ফজলে হুসাইন; born 20 January 1943, in Bangladesh) is a professor of mechanical engineering at Texas Tech University.[1] [2]
Hussain graduated with a BS in mechanical engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology in 1963. He went on to attend Stanford University, where he studied under William Craig Reynolds, and received his MS and PhD in mechanical engineering in 1966 and 1969.
Afterwards, Hussain was a post-doctoral fellow at the Johns Hopkins University with Leslie S. G. Kovasznay and Stanley Corrsin.
Hussain was a professor of mechanical engineering at University of Houston from 1976 to 2013. More recently, he was also a professor in the Earth & atmospheric science and physics departments from 2007 to 2013.[3] At UH, he held the Cullen Professorship in mechanical engineering.[4]
In 2001, Hussain was inducted into the National Academy of Engineering for "fundamental experiments and concepts concerning important structures in turbulence, vortex dynamics, and acoustics, and for new turbulence measurement techniques."[5] He is also a member of the advisory board at Shahjalal University of Science and Technology.
