Note: Wazzan spent part of '57-58' at UCLA. UC Berkeley Dissertation: Analysis of Enhanced Diffusivity in Nickel, August 1962. Dissertation advisor: John E. Dorn.
217:
His paper (with H. Procaccia, and J. David) "Effects of baffling and nonuniform feedwater discharge hole distribution on PWR thermal hydraulics." was awarded "Best Paper" at the
Proceedings of International Nuclear Power Plant Thermal Hydraulics and Operations, Taipei City, Taiwan, Republic of China.

Upon completing his doctorate, Wazzan accepted a position as assistant professor at UCLA where he served on the faculty for more than 40 years. He was named
Associate Dean in 1981 and Dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science in 1986, serving in that capacity until 2001. In 1996, Wazzan
