Current Research and Collaborations

Efficient Solution
Efficient solution for Porous Media and free Flow

I am currently developing highly efficient numerical algorithms tailored for simulations of porous media and free flow. My work involves creating models akin to multiscale methods, aimed at achieving significant computational savings while addressing problems at their original scale. Although these models share some similarities with multiscale techniques, they differ distinctly in mathematical formulation, methodology, and implementation.​

Revolutionizing a Steel Grating Factory Efficiency

As part of my sabbatical leave in the grating industry, I am working on a simulation-optimization tool designed as machine-learning based commercial software for this factory environment. This tool aims to enhance operational efficiencies and provide industry-specific solutions, bridging the gap between theoretical research and practical application. Through collaborative efforts and innovative methodologies, I am committed to advancing the field and contributing to impactful real-world applications.
