Chris Limbach is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan and the founding director of the Photonic Sensing Flow Interaction laboratory. His research focuses on laser measurement techniques for hypersonic flows and plasmas, as well as laser applications in space propulsion and energy. Limbach's work includes developing novel high-speed measurement approaches that provide new insights into turbulent wall-bounded flows and high-temperature non-equilibrium aerothermodynamics and plasmadynamics. He employs low-power linear methods, such as absorption spectroscopy and interferometry, alongside ultrafast techniques like femtosecond laser tagging and hybrid femtosecond-picosecond Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS), and two-photon laser-induced fluorescence. Before joining the University of Michigan in 2022, he was an Assistant Professor at Texas A&M University. Limbach holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University (2015) and dual Bachelor's degrees in Engineering Physics and Astronomy from the University of Arizona (2009).
