Research areas

ICI promotes scientific advances and technological innovations through advanced computational modelling, simulation and visualisation methods and tools.

Innovative and massively parallel numerical techniques for multiphase computational fluid dynamics, such as anisotropic mesh adaptation (theory and applications) and its coupling with immersed volume methods; imaging, with automatic reconstruction of numerical models from 3D images, offline and online computations.

Advanced Model Order Reduction methods for real time simulation, optimization, inverse analysis, control, uncertainty quantification and real time decision making in computational physics and engineering; Data based engineering science and technology for material, processes, structures and systems: monitoring, times series and images analysis. Data-driven, data-mining, machine and manifold learning and BigData. An ESI Group chair is endorsed to these research activities.

Multiscale Computational Composites Processing and Rheology, from the flowing microstructures and flows in microstructures in suspensions or nanocomposites, to process simulators applied to RTM, SMC, compression, etc. by developing homogenization and upscaling techniques; Bio-engineering and Bio-physics, computational surgery for real time simulators, computational anatomy and statistical shape analysis for patient specific treatment; Urban modeling and simulation and Building Physics.
