APSIH congratulates Dr. Hooshang Heshmat as the newly elected invited member of the National Academy of Engineers, class 2025.
Dr. Heshmat, while pursuing his higher education at RPI, Heshmat worked for small and large Cos. such as EBDA, MTI, Reliance Electric Co. and since 1994 lead Mohawk Innovative Technology, Inc. (MiTi®), a Green Technology
co., for nearly 29 years. Heshmat is an entrepreneur, innovator, inventor, theoretician, and experimentalist.
It was based on radical philosophical ideas of “the company must aim for technical excelsior, rather than economic advantages.” Heshmat has been pursuing the replacement of oil with air in rotating machinery since 1979. He set
the foundation of his companies to modernize design and advanced integration philosophy in rotating machinery. He strived to create strategic alignment with energy efficient, modern machines. The tribological shortcomings of the time had to be addressed first.
