Prof. Maitreyee Sharma is an Assistant Professor in the Kevin T. Crofton Department of Aerospace and Ocean Engineering at Virginia Tech. Her group’s research focuses on development of computational methods to study fluid and material systems under extreme conditions where non-equilibrium phenomena become important. We use a combination of quantum chemistry calculations, molecular dynamics simulations, machine learning, and computational fluid dynamics and uncertainty quantification to study these systems. Prior to joining Virginia Tech, she was a Postdoctoral Research Associate with Prof. Paulette Clancy and Prof. Rigoberto Hernandez at Johns Hopkins University. She completed her Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, advised by Prof. Marco Panesi. Maitreyee's work has been recognized by multiple awards and honors, including Mark O. Robbins Future Faculty Prize from JHU and the Rising Stars in Aerospace from MIT.
