Christopher S. Goldenstein develops laser-based sensing techniques, primarily laser absorption spectroscopy, to measure temperature, pressure, and chemical species concentrations in challenging, high-speed, or extreme environments. His work spans applications including hypersonic flows in shock tunnels, combustion and post-detonation fireballs, and gas generation in lithium-ion batteries. Prospective students would likely work on building and applying optical/laser instrumentation to study fast-changing physical and chemical processes.
