Dr. Veruska Malavé is a postdoctoral researcher at NIST who specializes in connecting experimental work with virtual experiments through numerical modeling. Her research focuses on solving metrology problems and developing new measurement techniques using continuum models, particularly in multiphysics and multiscale problems.
Some of her current research areas include:
1. Computational Fluid Particle Dynamics (CFPD) for aerosol breath research
2. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in vapor-liquid equilibrium measurements using nuclear magnetic resonance
3. Finite Element (FE) and CFD in species transportation and diffusion into solid matter
4. Coupling FE+CFD for multiphysics simulations
In her spare time, Dr. Malavé enjoys meditation and practicing Ashtanga Yoga. She has been recognized with the MML Early Career Recipient Accolade Outstanding Dissertation Award for her research on chemo-elastic behavior of Li-ion battery cathode particles.
