Career

Dutton's research combined fabricating requirements with material sensitivities. His team developed software to characterize the various permutations. The software resulting from Dutton's research; SUPREM, (Stanford University Process Engineering Models) and PISCES (Poisson and Continuity Equation Solver), were adopted by industry.http://esd-alliance.org/wp-content/uploads/PDFs/PhilKaufmanAward/06-09-07_Kaufman_Award.pdf He founded Technology Modeling Associates (TMA), the first
