Mitchell Luskin

Mitchell Luskin develops mathematical models and computational methods with applications to physics and mechanics. His current research focuses on quantum materials, machine-learning, and data-enabled modeling.

Luskin's early work proposed and analyzed finite difference and finite element methods for fluid dynamics, normal modes of the oceans, neutron transport, and viscoelasticity. Later work developed methods for liquid crystal defects and for materials with microstructure. More recent work formulated atomistic-to-continuum coupling and accelerated molecular dynamics methods.
