Research Description - Deborah Sulsky

My research is in biomathematics, continuum mechanics and scientific computation. Over the years, I have developed numerical algorithms for studying problems in embryology, population ecology, suspension flow, fluid mechanics, and solid mechanics. My recent work involves development of the Material-Point Method (MPM) for solving large-deformation continuum mechanics problems.
