Jesse Streicher

Jesse's research involves the application of optical diagnostics - emphasizing laser diagnostics - for characterizing extreme environments and reactions, emphasizing physical chemistry, ionization, and radiation phenomena affecting reentry flows. Prior to joining UQ, Jesse was a research scientist at Stanford University from 2022-2026, managing shock-tube laboratory funding, safety, and research activities. He previously graduated from Stanford with his PhD in 2022 as well as a MS in 2018, with his research focusing on the chemical kinetics of high-temperature gases with an emphasis on vibrational and chemical nonequilibrium through experimental studies at both Stanford and the NASA Ames electric arc shock tube (EAST).
