Biography

Leszek Sudak is a Professor at the Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics (1993) and a Bachelor of Science in Mining Engineering (1997) from the University of Alberta, and a Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering from the same institution (2000). His research focuses on elastic solids, emphasizing the mechanical mathematical aspects involved in the modeling and analysis of interphase layer damage in composite materials, specifically due to debonding and sliding cracking. Sudak's work encompasses predicting stress fields related to elastic inhomogeneities embedded in materials, with ensuing boundary value problems analyzed using complex variable techniques and integral equation methods. He also engages in continuum modeling of carbon nanotubes, fracture mechanics of electroelastic materials, and applications involving bone remodeling and prosthetics. Over the years, he has received numerous awards for his teaching and research achievements, highlighting his dedication to engineering education and mentorship.
