Suzanne Shontz, who completed a post-doc position at the CS&E department from 2004-2006 received a 2011 NSF Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (NSF PECASE) for her NSF CAREER project on parallel dynamic meshing algorithms, theory, and software for simulation-assisted medical interventions. The Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) is given to a selection from among the most meritorious new CAREER awardees. It is the highest honor bestowed by the United States Government on scientists and engineers beginning their independent careers.
Shontz was cited "for exemplary research in computational and data-enabled science and engineering that bridges applied mathematics, computer science, and scientific applications, and for contributions to education, including new curricula and approaches that encourage diversity in this emerging field." Shontz says her position working under CS&E Professor Yousef Saad was an important step on her career path. Shontz is an assistant professor at Mississippi State University.
