Dr. Hukam C. Mongia continues to provide services in gas turbine combustion science and technology innovation since May 2011. During his 7-year stay at Purdue University, he collaborated with his colleagues and students on research activities relevant to next-generation energy efficient fuel-flexible ultra-low emissions gas turbine engines for propulsion and power generation. These included collaborative works with IISc, IITM, UCONN/HAPRI-ACAE, Spectral Energies, NASA, Woodward, Nexus, FAA/UT and Dresser Rand. During his 37-year career with three engine design and manufacturing companies (GE Aviation, Allison now Rolls Royce of North America, and Garrett now Honeywell Aerospace), he has contributed significantly in developing combustion technology, design methodology and tools in addition to transition of technology into products; e.g., TAPS for GEnx, LEAP-X, GE9X and other future GE propulsion and aero derivative industrial engines. Dr. Mongia is credited with more than 300 publications, 30 patents and several significant awards and recognition, including Fellow of AIAA and ASME, recipient of AIAA Air Breathing award, Best Paper award by AIAA Terrestrial Energy Committee, “125 Alumni to Watch”, University of Massachusetts 125th Anniversary Celebration in 1988, and 1st Edison Award “to annually recognize key technical innovators from General Electric,”.
