Crocco Colloquium
The Crocco Colloquium is named in honor of one of MAE's most famous scholars, Dr. Luigi Crocco, who joined Princeton's fledgling Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Department as the first Goddard Professor of Jet Propulsion in September of 1949. He made seminal and classic contributions to various branches of aerodynamics, and enriched the experience of generations of students and colleagues with his teaching, vision, and scientific acumen.
The Crocco Colloquium, like the Batejer Colloquium, has traditionally been recognized by many people in the community as a prestigious event in which a leading scholar gives two outstanding lectures at Princeton about exciting leading-edge research in fields related to mechanical and aerospace engineering.
- Speaker: Peter Barker, University College London
Date/Time: Friday, November 16, 2012, 3:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.
