Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarisa Petrusky is a fifth-year PhD candidate and NSF GRFP fellow at the University of Colorado Boulder focusing on nonequilibrium gas and plasma dynamics with eight years of research experience bridging computational modeling and experimental diagnostics. She develops and extends simulation tools—most recently augmenting DPLR for viscous and supersonic shock-tube regimes at NASA Ames—and has a track record of building reusable libraries for particle and detector simulations (see QuEP). Comfortable moving between code and the lab, she has designed detector alignment and calibration software that was adopted in PREX-II and contributed unit-tested tools validated against accelerator data. Her work blends rigorous numerical methods, sensitivity-driven software design, and hands-on instrumentation, making her adept at translating complex physics into reliable, testable software.
