Research interests

The research interest are mainly related to multiscale heat transfer modeling, particularly in biomaterials. Numerical modeling is carried out primarily using the finite difference method (FDM) and the boundary element method (BEM) based on parallel algorithms. Parallel computations are based on multi-core processors, multiprocessor systems, and graphics units (GPUs).
