Presenter

Jacqueline H. Chen is a Senior Scientist at the Combustion Research Facility at Sandia National Laboratories. She received her B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Ohio State University, her M. S. degree from University of California at Berkeley and her Ph.D. degree from Stanford University. She has contributed broadly to research in turbulent combustion elucidating turbulence-chemistry interactions in combustion through direct numerical simulations. To achieve scalable performance of DNS on heterogeneous computer architectures she leads an interdisciplinary team of computer scientists, applied mathematicians and computational scientists to develop an exascale direct numerical simulation capability for turbulent reactive flows with complex chemistry and multi-physics. She is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and a Fellow of the Combustion Institute and the American Physical Society. She is an Associate Fellow of the AIAA. She is member of the Council for the American Association for the Advancement of Science. She received the Combustion Institute’s Bernard Lewis Gold Medal Award in 2018, the Society of Women Engineers Achievement Award in 2018, the Department of Energy Office of Science Distinguished Scientists Fellow Award in 2020, and the R&D100 Award for the Legion Programming System in 2020. She was on the Combustion Institute Board of Directors between XX and YY and Editor of Journal of Flow, Turbulence and Combustion. She serves on the Editorial Boards of Physical Review Fluids and Progress in Energy and Combustion and has served on the Editorial Boards of the Proceedings of the Combustion Institute and Combustion and Flame.
