Dan Shaw is a fifth year PhD student of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering in the Deike Lab at Princeton. Studying small scale fluid dynamics, his thesis work focuses on the processes by which bursting bubbles fragment liquid into tiny spray drops: an important transport mechanism for material like water, salts, biological material, and pollution to go from the ocean into the atmosphere. Prior to Princeton, Dan researched thermal-fluid systems for space applications at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab and Sandia National Labs. He completed a Mechanical Engineering bachelor’s degree at Cornell in 2018 where he also played on the Varsity Polo Team and served as President of the team for two years.
