Jonathan Davami

Jonathan Davami is a PhD graduate researcher, specializing in hypersonic shock wave boundary layer interactions and transition, under the mentorship of Dr. Thomas Juliano. He holds a Bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering from San Diego State University and previously conducted research in dynamic aeroelasticity at NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) under the direction of Dr. Walter Silva. Currently, he is a NASA Pathways intern for the Flow Physics and Control Branch at LaRC. Jonathan's research journey has taken him to respected institutions like the University of Notre Dame, NASA Langley Research Center, and the Air Force Research Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio, where he has conducted experiments in supersonic and hypersonic facilities. To explore and characterize these complex flowfields, he uses advanced techniques such as Infrared thermography and background-oriented schlieren for the reconstruction of density fields. Beyond his academic pursuits, Jonathan enjoys swimming, surfing, photography, and videography.
