معرفی
Jessica Shang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Rochester, affiliated with the Hajim School of Engineering & Applied Sciences. She also serves as a Staff Scientist at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE). She holds a PhD from Princeton University (2015). Her research focuses on fluid dynamics across diverse systems, including brain fluid mechanics, high-energy density (HED) hydrodynamics, and biologically-inspired hydrodynamic sensing. She collaborates extensively with institutions like the University of Rochester Medical Center, LLE, and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
Her work integrates experimental and computational methods to explore turbulence, fluid-structure interactions, vortex dynamics, and HED transport phenomena. Recent studies include biomimetic sensor development, X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy for multiscale flows, and laser-driven shockwave dynamics. Her research bridges fundamental physics with biomedical applications, particularly in understanding cerebral fluid dynamics and developing novel diagnostic techniques for extreme environments.
Key collaborations involve multi-institutional efforts to study HED flows, perivascular brain fluid mechanics, and turbulence characterization using advanced imaging. Her experimental setups often utilize ultrafast X-ray microscopy and laser-driven platforms to probe material behavior under extreme conditions. She maintains an active research program with a strong emphasis on translational applications in biomedical engineering and energy sciences.
