Marc Calvo-Schwarzwalder (PDEs Group, IMTech) Column sorption is a practical and widely used method for removing contaminants from carrier fluids and has attracted considerable attention in recent years. The process consists of passing a fluid through a column packed with a material capable of selectively capturing specific components. The mathematical modelling of this process, together […]
Sergi Pérez submitted his PhD thesis Finite Element computational modeling of flexoelectricity and flexo-photovoltaics, supervised by Sonia Fernández and Irene Arias at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (July 2025). He is currently expanding his doctoral research as a postdoctoral researcher at Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC). The PhD focuses on the numerical modeling of flexoelectricity and
Pradeep Kumar Bal submitted his PhD thesis Mathematical and computational modeling of the active mechanics of multicellular systems: from cell–cell adhesion to epithelial reshaping, supervised by Marino Arroyo at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (September 2025). He is currently expanding his doctoral research as a postdoctoral researcher with Prof. Marino Arroyo. This thesis develops theoretical
Rafel Perelló i Ribas submitted his PhD thesis Data assimilation for real-time dynamic prediction of wind-induced forces in vehicle platooning, supervised by Antonio Huerta and Sergio Zlotnik at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (November 2025). Nowadays, in the field of automotive aerodynamics, there is a big concern on concepts such as safety and energy efficiency.
José Lamas Rodríguez submitted his PhD thesis Oscillatory motions, parabolic orbits and collision orbits in the planar circular restricted three-body problem, supervised by Marcel Guàrdia Munárriz and Tere M-Seara Alonso at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (April 2025). Celestial mechanics is a classical meeting point between physics and mathematics. Its starting point is deceptively simple:
