Expertise
- Computational mechanics and applied mathematics with an
emphasis on moving discontinuities (mechanics of fracture,
biofilm and tumour growth, etc.)
- Method development (enriched/extended finite elements, meshfree
methods, smooth strain finite elements)
- Evolving discontinuities (level set methods, partition of unity
enrichment
- Academic research/industrial applications: bridging the gap
(porting novel methods to industrial codes, real-world
applications of computational mechanics and novel method
development).
Research directions
- Failure of biomorphic and biological materials (multi-scale
analysis, micro-macro failure models)
- Industrial applications of enriched finite element and meshfree
methods
- a posteriori error estimates (goal-orientation and applications
to enriched methods)
- Finite strain plasticity
- Natural element method
- Heart-valve/stent modeling
- Tumour growth modeling
- Biofilm models with fluid-structure interaction, sloughing and
anti-bacterial effects
