Lauren Simitz
Ph.D. Student in Aeronautics and Astronautics, admitted Autumn 2021
Masters Student in Aeronautics and Astronautics, admitted Winter 2022BioHi there! I'm an aerospace engineer, chemist, and geoscientist striving to both protect our world and advance technologies to explore new ones. Sustainability and DEI are just as strong of passions at the core of my work, in and outside of the space sector.
More specifically, my work in industry (Chevron, SpaceX, Benchmark) and academic research (Northwestern - flowable batteries, Stanford - clean combustion) catalyzed my passion for advancing sustainable, reliable fuel and energy systems at the micro- and macro-scale. I have interests in propulsion (chemical, air-breathing) and energy conversion processes like combustion. As a Stanford PhD candidate in the Fluids in Complex Environments (Ihme) lab, I employ the intersection of fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and kinetics to probe underlying phenomena in these areas.
I welcome messages and am always seeking collaborations with other scientists/groups. I am also happy to answer any questions about graduate school, fellowships, aerospace/chemical engineering/geoscience, and SpaceX, or put you in touch with my network, if that is helpful.
