Cullen College Engineer Wins International Acclaim From Organization Whose Early

Now he can add to his sparkling resume the title of international winner of the Cataldo Agostinelli e Angiola Gili Agostinelli International Prize, given by the Accademia dei Lincei in Rome, Italy. The exclusive organization was founded in 1603 with one of its early members no less than Galileo Galilei, the great scientist who first pointed a telescope to the heavens.

Not a bad organization to have its sights on Prosperetti, Distinguished Professor of mechanical engineering at UH, the Berkhoff Professor of applied physics at the University of Twente in the Netherlands and an elected member of the National Academy of Engineering.
