Tiffany Desjardins received her B.S. in Astrophysics from the University of New Mexico in 2008. She continued her education there, obtaining a Master’s of Science in Physics in 2010 and then her Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering in 2016. She spent two years as a post doc studying high energy density physics with the P-24 Plasma Physics group at Los Alamos National Laboratory. In 2018 she joined the Extreme Fluids as first a post doc before converting to staff.
Tiffany helps run and maintain the VST experiment. Her research area focuses on studying shock driven instabilities, studying the transition of instabilities to turbulence, and mixing induced by turbulence.
