Dr. Zhenyu Ouyang obtained his Ph.D. from Marquette
University in Structural Engineering. Dr. Ouyang’s research interests are in the
areas of numerical modeling (Cohesive Zone Model), computational materials
(Molecular Dynamics (MD) model), composite materials and structures, and solid
and fracture mechanics.

Dr. Rachel Vincent-Finley, Assistant Professor

Computer Science Department, Southern University
E-mail: revf@cmps.subr.edu
Website: http://www.cmps.subr.edu/
Dr. Rachel Vincent-Finley obtained her Ph.D. from Rice
University in Computational and Applied Mathematics. Her primary research
interests include numerical analysis, particularly the interface
between numerical linear algebra and numerical solution techniques which occur
in applications to biology, chemistry and biomolecular dynamics. More generally,
she is interested in computational methods and high performance computing
hardware and software methodology for molecular modeling including data
structures and computer visualization.
