Dana Dabiri is Associate Professor at the William E. Boeing Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics at the University of Washington, in Seattle. He received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, San Diego in 1985; his M.S. in Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley in 1987; and his PhD in Aerospace Engineering at the University of California, San Diego in 1992. He was a Post-doc at Caltech from 1992-1993, and continued at Caltech as a research scientist until the end of 2001. In 2002, he joined the faculty at the William E. Boeing Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics as an Assistant Professor, and was promoted as an Associate Professor in 2009. His work pursues developing novel ways for quantitatively visualizing and revealing flow physics that otherwise could not be determined. At present, Professor Dabiri's research activities is focused on developing novel implementations of 2D and 3D digital particle tracking velocimetry (2DPTV & 3DPTV) , global wall shear stress measurements and global non-intrusive pressure and/or temperature measurements within flows with applications in bio-flows, aero-acoustics, heat transfer, combustion, and Computational Fluid Dynamics modelling.
