Sam Hutton

M.S. in Mathematics, Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering

Summary

My academic pursuits were initially motivated by my desire to know the "answers" - but the more I learn, the more questions arise. I have disbanded most hope of understanding the world - appreciating it's beauty is more enjoyable!

I have been titled a student, soldier, father, husband, engineer, scientist, intern, founder, CEO and some others - all of which have taught me that it's not the title that matters, rather the actions performed by the one holding it. Preferred title: Human in progress!

Research interests

I am interested in more things than I can reasonably study within this lifetime. Currently, I am working on problems related to viscous films, shell buckling, and membrane wrinkling.
