Vijay K. Dhir, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, was named Dean of UCLA’s Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science in March 2003.
Dr. Dhir joined the faculty at UCLA in 1974. Dr. Dhir served as vice chair of the UCLA Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from 1988 to 1991, and was chair of that department from 1994 to 2000. From July 2001 to February 2002, he served as the school’s associate dean for academic and faculty issues and as Interim Dean from February 2002 to March 2003.
In 2006, he was elected to the National Academy of Engineering.
Dr. Dhir has been the senior technical editor for the American Society of Mechanical Engineers’ Journal of Heat Transfer since 2000. He is on the advisory boards of several other journals.
