Elizabeth Rasmussen (Fed)
National Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow
Elizabeth Rasmussen, PhD, is an NRC research fellow in the Thermophysical Properties of Fluids Group, where she is working on innovating metrology techniques that will enable data-driven manufacturing.
Dr. Rasmussen joined NIST following graduation from the University of Washington in Seattle where she was granted an NSF data science accelerator award and graduate research fellowship from the Clean Energy Institute. Dr. Rasmussen’s dissertation research presented an innovative method to harness the tunable thermophysical properties of supercritical carbon dioxide in a continuous flow reactor for the sustainable and scalable rapid synthesis of Metal Organic Framework (MOF) nanomaterials.
Overall, Dr. Rasmussen’s research interests center around integrating a basic science approach to thermodynamics with data science to enable a wide range of technical innovations to help advance U.S. industrial competitiveness on a global scale.
Outside of the lab, Dr. Rasmussen has competed in national trail running championships, and enjoys running trails and skiing in Colorado.
