Katherine P. Prestridge is an American scientist investigating fluids in extreme environments at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Biography
Prestridge completed her PhD in 1998 at University of California, San Diego, following a Bachelors of Science in aerospace engineering at Princeton University in 1992.[1][2] She joined Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1998 and formed the Extreme Fluids Team in 2008.[3]
Prestridge joined Editorial Advisory Board of the Experiments in Fluids journal in 2015.[4] She was made a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2019.[5]
Awards and honours
- 2019 – Fellow of the American Physical Society for "thoughtfully designed experiments on shock-driven mixing and turbulence, and for developing advanced flow diagnostics that bring insights to the understanding of mixing in extreme flows."[5]
