After earning her Ph.D., Dr. Lott was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Maryland (1994-1997). In 1998 she joined the faculty of the New Jersey Institute of Technology. She has written some valuable advice to graduate students in A Letter to Graduate Students. In 2004, she joined Delaware Stste University as an Associate Professor.

Research: applied mathematics, numerical solutions of partial differential equations: numerical and analytical methods in solid mechanics, nonlinear elasticity/plasticity, hyperbolic equations and numerical studies of human skin.

Dr. Lott has five publications:

  1. Lott, D.A. and Chaudhry, H.R., On the use of infinite elements for the determination of optimal closure patterns based on stress analysis, Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering, 6: 225,234 (2003).
