Research Activities
Recently arrived in the group, and building on my computational materials science and scientific computing background, I have split my work into two main activities of research.
• Continuum computations: finite element method, remeshing
• Non linear computations: Newton-Raphson method, acceleration methods
• Evolving interface: Stefan problem, level set method
• Multyphysics coupling: operator split, strong coupling, acceleration methods
• High Performance Computing: domain decomposition methods, parallel computations
It will drastically improve our understanding of the process and allow its quantitative mastering.

The second activity deals with the prediction of the robocast scaffolds mechanical properties. This research involves:
• Non linear computations: Newton-Raphson method, acceleration methods
• Evolving interface: Stefan problem, level set method
• Multyphysics coupling: operator split, strong coupling, acceleration methods
• High Performance Computing: domain decomposition methods, parallel computations
It will drastically improve our understanding of the process and allow its quantitative mastering.

• Rupture probability: Weibull theory
• Multiscale modeling: Sanchez-Palencia periodic homogenization• Continuum computations: finite element method, selective integration method
It will allow to optimize the shape of the scaffolds, making them suitable for human implants.
