Dr. Truszkowska gained her bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology in 2009 from the University of Belgrade, Serbia, and received a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at Oregon State University in 2014. Prior to joining UAH, she had three postdoctoral appointments, first at Oregon State University, second at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and the most recent one at New York University, Tandon School of Engineering. Dr. Truszkowska’s research interests are scientific computing, with emphasis on software and model development, numerical methods, and high-performance computing. She has modeling experience in different fields of science and engineering, but her main areas are multiphysics and multiscale modeling in microtechnology-based devices, multiphase flows, and porous materials. The goal of her research is to develop new models that allow a better understanding and improvement of these systems with applications in chemical, petroleum, and biomedical engineering, as well as biotechnology.
