My research

Scientific expertise and vision

My scientific expertise is in continuum solid mechanics and biomechanics, and in mathematical and computational (in-silico) modelling in engineering and bioengineering. My research interests span from scientific computing and modelling to nonlinear solids, systems biology and medicine. Hence, my research vision is to amalgamate modelling with imaging technologies towards developing novel in-silico platforms for personalized preoperative planning and intraoperative decision making. Also, my long-term aim of research is to investigate the pathophysiology of cancer and other diseases by combining in-silico technologies with in-vitro or/and in-vivo approaches.

Research interests

My research interests span across several disciplines in theoretical and applied science, more specifically in:

• Non-linear mechanics analysis of Solids and Structures
• In-silico modelling in Multiphysics and Multiscale problems
• Boundary Elements, Finite Element Method, Isogeometric Analysis, Mesh-free methods
• Mathematical Biology; Mathematical Modelling
• Development and application of fluid-solid and solid-solid interaction numerical methods in Aeronautics, Engineering and Bioengineering
• High-performance computing (HPC): parallel programming through CPU-/GPU-based procedures; object-oriented programming
