Multiscale and Multiphysics Modeling, Computational Analysis
Our research combines concepts from advanced mathematics, theoretical mechanics, electro-chemistry, and numerical methods to create mathematical models and corresponding computer simulations that highlight complex behaviors of multi-functional materials with dynamic microstructures such as living biological materials.
Models that link mechanical and electro-chemical processes taking place at various length and time scales in biological tissues could provide valuable information not only on the range of healthy functions, but also on the onset and progression of diseases and tumors.
Work is also conducted on the development of non-local theories using fractional calculus and on image processing and inverse problems arising in image elastography.
