Louis Moresi

Louis-Noël Moresi FAA (born 30 October 1965) is a Professor of Computational Mathematics & Geophysics at The Australian National University.

The London-born Moresi began his scientific career at Kodak as a research assistant in 1985 where he worked with Dr John Goddard on the synthesis of stabilizers (anti-oxidants) for yellow dyes in photographic emulsions.

There he worked with Mike Gurnis on 3D dynamic models of Subduction in the North West Pacific Ocean as well as mantle convection in Earth and Venus with Slava Solomatov.

In 2019 he moved back to The Australian National University Research School of Earth Sciences as a Professor of Geophysics.

This is a 2D and 3D Eulerian Finite Element code which is designed to solve problems with extremely large variations in viscosity.

Having lagrangian integration points meant that the scientist using the code could track history and material properties through time.
