Elizabeth B. Stein Dussan V, who was born in 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
editDussan completed her undergraduate degree in applied mathematics from Stony Brook University[5] in 1967. Furthermore, she completed her Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University in 1972. Her dissertation, On the Motion of a Line Common to Three Different Materials, was supervised by applied mathematician Stephen H. Davis.[6], and was a part of her work while studying for her Ph.D.
She is retired as a Scientific Advisor for the Schlumberger-Doll Research Center,[7][2][3] as well as having taught chemical engineering at the University of Pennsylvania.[8][6]
Recognition
editDussan became a Guggenheim Fellow in 1984, honoring her for the work and research in "spreading of liquids on solid surfaces".[8] Following this achievement, she then 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 her actions and contributions in wetting and flow in porous media.[4]
In 1985, Stony Brook University awarded her their Distinguished Alumni Award as a result of her work as a Guggenheim Fellow of the American Physical Society. [9]
