Dr. Mark S. Shephard is the Samuel A. and Elisabeth C. Johnson, Jr. Professor of Engineering. He is also the Director of the Scientific Computation Research Center. He is a fellow and past president of the US Association of Computational Mechanics, a fellow of ASME, is an active member of AIAA, IACM and SIAM. He is the editor of Engineering with Computers and is on the editorial board of six technical journals.
Research Interests and Activities
Dr. Shephard's research activities have focused on the development of techniques to reliably automate the finite element modeling and multiscale processes. Three areas of emphasis are adaptive analysis techniques, parallel computation procedures and automated model generation. A number of the research projects he works on apply these techniques to application areas including manufacturing simulations, structural systems, thermomechanical modeling of electronic packaging, computational fluid dynamics, modeling of high performance composite materials and modeling of biomechanical systems.
