The team is working on the following topics:

• Asymptotic methods and applications
• Homogenization theory
• Microperiodic structure optimization
• Variational methods for coupling problems, fluid-structure interaction and coupled Navier-Stokes - Darcy flows
• PDEs in Fluid Mechanics
• Nonlinear Water Waves
• Fluid Stability Problems
• Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
• Dislocation in Hele-Shaw cells or in porous media
• Non-Newtonian fluids
• Heat and mass transfer in porous media
• Diffusion and convection
• Geometric evolution problems (brittle fracture, image segmentation)
• Bipotentials theory with applications (friction, damage, non-associated laws)
• Hamiltonian mechanics and dissipation
• Quasiconvexity and non-linear elasticity
• Differential calculus in metric spaces (sub-riemannian geometry, dilation structures)
• Optimization problems
• Domain decomposition methods
• Multigrid methods for variational inequalities and saddle point problems
• Multigrid methods associated with explicit Moreau-Yosida regularizations
• Embedding domain methods and optimal control problems
• Numerical methods for nonlinear mechanical problems and financial derivatives

There are two scientific seminars, an internal seminar and a joint one with the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Bucharest
