Dr.
Szabo has made
pioneering contributions
to the field of
finite element
methods, a computerized
process of subdividing
an object into
a mesh of elements
and computing
the stresses and
deformations they
undergo, which
engineers worldwide
use every day.
His research.emphasis
is in the area
of numeral mechanics,
the mechanics
of solid bodies
and the finite
element method.
His research has
applications in
a virtual fabrication
environment for
aircraft components
and in new 3-D
medical imaging
systems to improve
design of artificial
limbs. |
