Research work on this area gathers analytic, numerical and computational aspects, and often its integration, to achieve efficient numerical algorithms. The work included computational fluid dynamics, inverse problems, numerical methods for differential and integral equations, and computational geometry.

Coordinator: Adélia Sequeira

Development of mathematical and numerical models for study and computational simulations of biophysical systems. Active areas of investigation include models for the human cardiovascular system such as, blood flow under healthy and pathological conditions, infectious disease dynamics and epidemiology, antibiotic resistance and cancer.

Coordinator: Cláudia Nunes

Research focused on several areas of applied statistics and stochastic processes. It will be carried out in close connection with engineers and economists, and strong emphasis will be put on producing codes implementing the methods resulting from the research in widely used software packages like the R statistical package.
