Elizabeth B. Stein Dussan V, who was born in 1946,[1] is an American applied mathematician, condensed matter physicist, and chemical engineer.
[6], and was a part of her work while studying for her Ph.D. She is retired as a Scientific Advisor for the Schlumberger-Doll Research Center,[7][2][3] as well as having taught chemical engineering at the University of Pennsylvania.
[8] Following this achievement, she then became a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 1985 "for her deep insights into the mechanisms and the realistic modeling of phenomena involving fluid-fluid interfaces, particularly in situations in which moving contact lines and mutual fluid displacement occur".
[2] She was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2004 "for innovative contributions to the wetting of solids and complex flows in porous media".
[3] In 2009, she became one of the inaugural Fellows of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics for her actions and contributions in wetting and flow in porous media.
