  - "Accurate computational representations of highly deformable surfaces are indispensable
    in the fields of computer animation, medical simulation, computer vision, digital
    modeling, and computational physics. The focus of this dissertation is on the
    animation of physics-based phenomena with highly detailed deformable surfaces
    represented by triangle meshes.\r\n \r\nWe first present results from an algorithm
    that generates continuum mechanics animations with intricate surface features.
    This method combines a finite element method with a tetrahedral mesh generator
    and a high resolution surface mesh, and it is orders of magnitude more efficient
    than previous approaches. Next, we present an efficient solution for the challenging
    problem of computing topological changes in detailed dynamic surface meshes. We
    then introduce a new physics-inspired surface tracking algorithm that is capable
    of preserving arbitrarily thin features and reproducing realistic fine-scale topological
    changes like Rayleigh-Plateau instabilities. This physics-inspired surface tracking
    technique also opens the door for a unique coupling between surficial finite element
    methods and volumetric finite difference methods, in order to simulate liquid
    surface tension phenomena more efficiently than any previous method. Due to its
    dramatic increase in computational resolution and efficiency, this method yielded
    the first computer simulations of a fully developed crown splash with droplet
    pinch off.@eng"
