I am currently working at IMT Lucca in the multiscale analysis of materials unit research (MUSAM) http://musam.imtlucca.it/. My research topics are:
- Numerical splitting methods for simulation of coupled phenomena in multiphysics
- Generalized thermo-diffusion
- Fractional calculus in thermo-viscoelasticity
- Advection-reaction-diffusion bioconvective systems in viscous fluids
- Reaction-diffusion systems
My main fields are: Computational methods in nonlinear mechanics, Finite element method.
