Research interests:

My main research interests are computational methods for complex flow problems. In this framework I have investigated various aspects of stabilized finite element methods, discontinuous Galerkin methods, a posteriori error estimation and adaptive algorithms. Recent fields of interest include multiphysics coupling (and decoupling) using NitscheÕs method, the stability properties of discontinuous Galerkin methods for elliptic or hyperbolic problems, efficient time stepping methods for hyperbolic systems and convection—diffusion equations. Ongoing work focus on the solution and analysis of optimal control and inverse problems using the above mentioned techniques.
