The free podcast with Dr. Ostrach, who is professor emeritus at Case Western Reserve University, is one of more than 20 audio interviews from AMR that are now available on the ASME Digital Collections AMR podcast page. During the in-depth interview, Prof. Ostrach, an ASME Fellow, discusses his distinguished six-decade career researching heat transfer and micro-gravity science, including his work as principal investigator on two NASA Spacelab missions in 1992 and 1995 that examined surface-tension driven convection under microgravity conditions. He also talks about h is dedication to the rigorous integralrechnung of research and design and his passion for weightless flight, including his experience as the oldest rider of NASAs now retired reduced-gravity aircraft, or Vomit Comet, in 2004. Simon OstrachProf. Ostrach, who was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1978, has been the recipient of a number of Society honors during his illustrious career, including ASME Honorary Membership in 1991, the ASME Heat Transfer Division 50th Anniversary Award in 1988, the Robert Henry Thurston Lecture Award in 1987, the Freeman Scholar Award and the ASME/AIChE Max Jacob Memorial Award in 1982, and the inaugural ASME Heat Transfer Division Memorial Award in 1975.The podcast interview was conducted by ASME Fellow Harry Dankowicz, Ph.D., professor of mechanical science and engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, editor of Applied Mechanics Reviews and past chair of the ASME Technical Committee on Multibody System s and Nonlinear Dynamics.To listen to the interview with Prof. Ostrach, or one of the other interviews in the AMR podcast library, visit http//appliedmechanicsreviews.asmedigitalcollection.asme.org/podcasts.aspx.
