Bhuvana Srinivasan is a professor at the William E. Boeing Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the University of Washington, where she directs the PLASMAWISE laboratory. Prior to her position at UW, she was an Associate Professor at the Kevin T. Crofton Department of Aerospace and Ocean Engineering at Virginia Tech and the director of the Plasma Dynamics Computational Laboratory. She received her PhD from the University of Washington, specializing in computational plasma physics relevant to nuclear fusion and focusing on high-fidelity multi-fluid models that utilize the discontinuous Galerkin method. Her research aims to advance fusion energy concepts, enhance plasma-based propulsion techniques, and deepen the understanding of fundamental plasma physics applicable to space astrophysical plasmas, covering topics such as plasma-material interactions in fusion devices and instabilities in high-energy-density fusion astrophysical plasmas. Bhuvana's work is supported by numerous prestigious organizations including the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy.
