Dr. Krishnan Suresh is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. His research interests span topology optimizationdesign for additive manufacturingcomputational mechanics, and high-performance computing.

His research group focuses on questions such as:

  • What are the theoretical advances needed to solve multi-constrained design optimization problems?
  • What are the computational bottlenecks, and how do we overcome these?
  • How can one address additive manufacturing constraints in topology optimization?
  • How do we preserve design features during topology optimization?
  • How do we handle tangled meshes in large-deformation finite element analysis?
