Professor Zhilin Li, Ph.D., zhilin@math.ncsu.edu , (Zhilin Li got his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from University of Washington in Seattle, Washington. He was a CAM/Hedrick Assistant Professor at University of Californian at Los Angeles (UCLA) between1994-1996. He went to North Carolina State University in 1997 and was promoted to full professor in 2006. Zhilin Li's research area is in applied mathematics with applications in CFD, math biology. He is the main inventor of IIM, AIIM, IFEM and AIFEM methods. Has has published over 100 refereed publications, one monograph (SIAM Frontier Series 33), one textbook (Cambridge 2017). He has been PI or co-PI of external grants of NSF, ARO, NIH, AFOSR. Zhilin Li has had 12 PhD students graduated.);
Professor Sheldon Wang, Ph.D.,P.E., sheldon.wang@mwsu.edu, Dr. Sheldon Wang is a tenured full professor of the McCoy School of Engineering at the Midwestern State University (MSU). Dr. Wang has been teaching in higher education for over twenty-three years. He received his B.S. degree in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering in 1988 from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, M.S. in Ocean Engineering in 1993 and Ph.D. in Applied Mechanics in 1995 from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Subsequently, he has worked in the Institute of Paper Science and Technology (currently part of GaTech), Polytechnic University (currently part of New York University), and Department of Mathematical Sciences of New Jersey Institute of Technology as a faculty member before joining MSU in 2009. Dr. Wang was selected by Polytechnic University in 2002 as one of the five founding Othmer Junior Faculty Fellows. He was also selected as the ASEE Air Force Summer Faculty Fellow in 2008 and 2009. His research interests include computational fluid and solid mechanics, fluid-solid interactions, quantitative modeling of biological systems, nonlinear dynamical systems, and complex systems. Dr. Wang is the author of around 40 journal papers with more than one thousand journal citations and an h-index 15 based on Researcher ID: C-4915-2008. He is also the author of a research monograph “Fundamentals of Fluid-Solid Interactions—Analytical and Computational Approaches” published by Elsevier Science in 2008. This book is available in nearly three hundred and twenty libraries around the world with 15 editions. Dr. Wang has served in the editorial boards of a number of journals and international conferences as well as review panels for National Science Foundation, US Department of Agriculture, and other governmental agencies. Dr. Wang has served as Chair of the McCoy School of Engineering at MSU from 2009 to 2014 and Chair of the Mechanical Engineering Tuning Committee of Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) from 2010 to 2012. Dr. Wang is a licensed professional engineer in the State of Texas and current treasurer of MIT Club of Dallas/Fort Worth.
Prof. Lucy Zhang, zhanglucy@rpi.edu, (Prof. Lucy Zhang is currently an Associate Professor at the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace & Nuclear Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). She received her B.S. from Binghamton University in December of 1997, obtained her M.S. and Ph.D. from Northwestern University, IL in 2000 and 2003, respectively. Upon graduation, she joined Mechanical Engineering Department at Tulane as an assistant professor in July of 2003. In August 2006, she moved to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute due to Hurricane Katrina and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2011. Her research interests are building advanced and robust computational tools and software framework for accurate and efficient multiphysics and multiscale simulations that can be used for engineering applications in biomechanics, micro and nano-mechanics, medicine, and defense projects involving impacts. She has published more than 40 highly cited peer-reviewed journals and more than 20 peer-reviewed conference papers. In 2016, she received Young Investigator Award at the International Conference for Computational Methods. She is currently developing a set of robust coupling technologies for a large variety of applications based on the immersed framework, and is developing an open-source multiphysics code, OpenIFEM, for multiphysics and multiscale simulations and analysis with minimum intrusive manipulation of existing solvers.)
