MSO

The Multiphysics Simulation and Optimization Group is a team of interdisciplinary scientists and engineers with enthusiasm for computational modelling and optimization of engineering designs. Todays problems, unlike traditional science and engineering, do not involve physical processes covered by a single traditional discipline of physics or the associated mathematics. Complex systems encountered in virtually all applications of interest to Computational Engineering involve many distinct physical processes. The issue of coupling models of different events at different scales and governed by different physical laws is largely wide open and represents an enormously challenging area for future research. Accordingly, our team specializes in developing state-of-the-art simulation and optimization methods for use in structural and multidisciplinary design problems. The MSO group works in collaboration with multidisciplinary researchers at the interface of engineering, computer science and applied mathematics and strives to find simple and disruptive engineering solutions.
