Research in advanced numerical techniques used in High Performance Computing: stable/stabilized immersed finite element methods, interface capturing through modified level-set set or phase-field methods, anisotropic mesh adaptation, developments in a massively parallel context.

Expertise fields and software application developments:

  • Finite elements and eulerian approaches to solve thermomechanical multiphase problems
  • Parallel multiphase computational fluid dynamics of highly viscous to inviscid fluid flows and their phase changes
  • Direct 3D image based numerical simulations(X-Ray tomography, point clouds, ...) in several applications fields
  • Development of software applications for urban environments, material forming processes and material structure development simulations
