Topics

Finite Element and Discrete Time Methods for Partial Differential Equations with Memory.

Such models occur in the continuum mechanics of biotissue and polymers, and also in the electromagnetism of lossy dielectrics. Some example projects:

• Implementation and analysis of fully discrete approximations to partial differential equations with exponentially fading memory
• Implementation and analysis of fully discrete approximations to partial differential equations with fractional calculus memory
• Use of forward problem simulation to generate training data for machine learning applications
• 3D modelling of the time dependent motion of a human chest
