Ty Trusty

Hey! I'm a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Toronto working with Eitan Grinspun. I work on numerical methods for physics simulation with a focus these days on biomechanics! I completed my PhD in 2026 where I was advised by David I.W. Levin. Before Toronto, I attended the University of Texas at Austin where I received my BS and MS.
