Development and Application of Advanced Laser-based Measurement Techniques to Transonic, Supersonic, and Hypersonic Flows
Organization:
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
Reference Code:
0003-NPP-MAR26-LRC-Aero
Application Deadline:
3/1/2026 6:00:59 PM Eastern Time Zone
Location:
Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia
Program:
NASA Postdoctoral Program – 1 to 3 year fellowship.
Description:
The research group in the Advanced Measurements and Data Systems Branch (AMDSB) of the Research Directorate at NASA Langley Research Center focuses on developing advanced laser-based measurement techniques for transonic, supersonic, and hypersonic flows. The primary responsibilities include:
Designing and conducting wind tunnel experiments to validate computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models.
Applying femtosecond laser electronic excitation and tagging (FLEET) and particle image velocimetry (PIV) to study high Reynolds number transonic flows.
Implementing planar laser‑induced fluorescence (PLIF) to investigate launch and hypersonic re‑entry vehicles and heat shield materials.
Developing new variations of laser-based measurement techniques to extend their capabilities.
Utilizing the measurement data to address fundamental and applied fluid‑mechanics problems.
Eligibility Requirements:
Citizenship: LPR or U.S. Citizen.
Degree: Doctoral Degree.
Application Instructions:
Submit a complete application via Zintellect including a research proposal, three letters of recommendation, and official doctoral transcript documents. Detailed instructions can be found on the NASA Postdoctoral Program website.
