Donald Baganoff was a faculty member of the Aeronautics and Astronautics Department at Stanford Universty for more than 32 years.

"Don was an outstanding teacher and one of the foremost researchers in the world in the field of high-speed gas dynamics," said Brian Cantwell, the Edward C. Wells Professor in the School of Engineering. "He pioneered new computational algorithms that enable the simulation of rarified gas flows, such as those that exist around the space shuttle during re-entry. Baganoff's approach is based on the direct calculation of trillions of molecular collisions."
