Hubert Aaronson (July 10, 1924 – December 13, 2005) was an R.F. Mehl University Professor at Carnegie Mellon University.[1]

## Biography

[edit]

Hubert I. Aaronson was born on July 10, 1924, in New York City. In 1936, Aaronson moved to New Jersey and graduated high school. He graduated Carnegie Institute of Technology (CIT) which is currently known as Carnegie Mellon University, majoring in engineering.[2]

Aaronson went to the U.S. Army Air Corps and went on to fly many B-17 missions during World War II.[2]

## Career

[edit]

Aaronson received a B.S. in 1948, M.S. in 1954, and a Ph.D. in 1954 at the Carnegie Institute of Technology for metallurgical engineering. In 1970, he served many TMS and ASM committees as a member and a chair such as the Phase Transformations Committee. Aaronson received an honorary membership of the Japan Institute of Metals in 1996, and was then elected for the National Academy of Engineering in 1997.[1]

Aaronson continued working as a R.F. Mehl Professor Emeritus at the Carnegie Mellon University before his death on December 13, 2005, after a lengthy illness.[1][2]
