We present work in progress on employing domain wall fermions to simulate N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories on the lattice in d=4 and d=3 dimensions. The geometrical nature of domain wall fermions gives simple insights into how to construct these theories. We also discuss the obstacles associated with simulating the N=2 theory in d=4.
