Davoudi received her Ph.D. in 2014 from the University of Washington. From 2014 to 2017, she was a postdoctoral research associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Center for Theoretical Physics. Davoudi studies strongly interacting systems of hadrons and nuclei using analytical and numerical techniques. Her research provides theoretical input for experiments searching for rare isotopes, exotic matter, new energy production mechanisms, violations of nature’s fundamental symmetries and dark matter candidates in the universe.
