NASA Ames Fellows

The Ames Fellow Program is designed to identify and acknowledge a very small number of Ames Research Center (ARC) employees for their national or international reputation of scientific or engineering excellence and their contributions to NASA and our research center. The rank of fellow is considered to be the highest recognition that Ames Research Center can bestow upon one of its own employees for research excellence. The award was first given in 1986 to Harvard Lomax and Robert Jones (honorary). Harvard Lomax was a pioneer in the field of computational fluid dynamics, and Robert T. Jones was one of the premier aeronautical engineers of the twentieth century.

Associate Fellows

The Ames Associate Fellow is an honorary designation to recognize exceptional scientific/engineering research by ARC staff members (civil servants). To make this award accessible to younger scientists and engineers the residency requirement at ARC is only five years, and the evaluation puts special emphasis on achievements by the nominee in the last 3-5 years before nomination. Nevertheless, the award is so competitive, that it has been won primarily by more senior staff members that have achieved international recognition in their field of research.
