Abstract

"I don't do dirty," Elisa Sotelino says with her contagious laugh as she describes her engineering work. What she does do is use Virginia Tech's squeaky clean supercomputer, System X, to learn how entire structures will behave under different circumstances, such as a compartment fire or an earthquake.
