Biography:Elizabeth B. Dussan V.
Elizabeth B. Dussan V. (born 1946)[1] is an American applied mathematician, condensed matter physicist, and chemical engineer. Her research involves fluid dynamics, and she is known for her work on wetting, porous media, and fluid-fluid interfaces.[2][3][4]
Education and career
Dussan graduated from Stony Brook University in 1967,[5] and earned her Ph.D. in 1972 from Johns Hopkins University. Her dissertation, On the Motion of a Line Common to Three Different Materials, was supervised by applied mathematician Stephen H. Davis.[6]
She is retired as a scientist for the Schlumberger-Doll Research Center,[2][3] and also taught chemical engineering at the University of Pennsylvania.[7][6]
Recognition
Dussan became a Guggenheim Fellow in 1984, "for work in the spreading of liquids on solid surfaces".[7] She became a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 1985 "for her deep insights into the mechanisms and the realistic modeling of phenomena involving fluid-fluid interfaces, particularly in situations in which moving contact lines and mutual fluid displacement occur".[2] She was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2004 "for innovative contributions to the wetting of solids and complex flows in porous media".[3] In 2009 she became one of the inaugural Fellows of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics "for contributions to wetting and flow in porous media".[4]
In 1985, Stony Brook University gave her their Distinguished Alumni Award.[5]
