TEACHING AND ADVISOR ACTIVITY
Before 2010 my didactical duties where mainly limited to supporting and practice classes.
Since 2010 (becoming Associate Professor and then Full Professor) I have taught several courses in the Mathematics Undergrad Bachelor and Master Courses (Optimization, Approximation of Partial Differential Equations, Numerical Calculus,…) and also basic math in other Undergrad Courses (Linear Algebra, Calculus, …). In average I teach between 2 and 3 courses per year. I have also taught some PhD course and some lesson in Numerical Analysis summer schools for PhD/post-doc students.
I was advisor of 20 Master Theses in Mathematics.
I was the advisor (or among the advisors) for the PhD theses of G. Rivera (Univ. of Concepcion), G. Vacca (Univ. of Bari), L. Mascotto (Univ. of Milano).
-----------------------------------
PUBLICATIONS:
A total of 96 publications on International Journals with Referee (plus many proceedings, number not provided), mostly being on top level journals.
-----------------------------------
RESEARCH INTERESTS:
From a broad standpoint, my research field is the discretization of problems in Partial Differential Equations, with a particular (but not limited to) interest in Mechanics and in non-standard Methodologies. Although I have good coding skills, my main expertise is in the developement and theoretical analysis of numerical methods.
-----------------------------------
In particular my interests and expertise are in:
- Finite Element Method
- Numerical Methods in Structural Mechanics (plates, shells, elasticity, inelasticity)
- Isogeometric Analysis
- Mimetic Discretization Schemes
- Virtual Element Method
