Dr. Chloe Dedic earned her B.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Iowa State University in 2012 and 2017, respectively. After graduation she worked as a visiting scientist with the National Institute of Aerospace at NASA Langley Research Center and joined the University of Virginia Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department as an assistant professor in 2018. She is the recipient of a DARPA Young Faculty Award, a NASA Early Career Faculty Award, and the AFOSR Young Investigator Program. Dr. Dedic’s research focuses on the design and application of advanced, laser-based measurements and nonlinear spectroscopy techniques to study reacting flow systems. Her work aims to improve our understanding of combustion and nonequilibrium systems with the goal of furthering the development of technologies related to clean energy utilization, aerospace propulsion, and hypersonic aerothermodynamics.
