Modelling

• multi-physics problems: reactive flows, fluid-structure interaction, contact, phase transformation
• multi-scale problems: homogenisation, material failure and degradation
• materials science: composites, functional materials, textiles

Operation

• uncertainty quantification: Bayesian inference, sensitivity analysis, design of experiments
• optimisation and optimal control: reduced order models, real-time

Methods

• advanced finite element methods and techniques
• finite volumes and discrete element / particle methods
• advanced graph analytics
• advanced data analysis

Instruments

• open-source software development (e.g. finite element framework FEniCS)
• in-house scientific software (XDEM, HPC)
• experimental facilities for large-scale data acquisition (e.g. wind tunnel, gravimeter)
