Professor Daniele Boffi leads the so-called NUMPDE research group, which stands for

Numerical Methods for PDEs

Research group areas of expertise and current scientific interests:

mixed finite elements, partial differential equations, virtual elements method

A common denominator for the research topics is that the numerical approach is based on rigorous mathematical analysis of the approximation schemes (well-posedness, stability, convergence, etc.) and on the numerical validation of the theoretical results. Among the many research topics, the NumPDE group is interested in are:

• Approximation of eigenvalue problems arising from partial differential equations,
• Fluid-structure interaction problems,
• Analysis and implementation of adaptive finite element schemes,
• Application of FEM to electromagnetism,
• Virtual Element Methods,
• Least Square Finite Element Methods,
• Surfactants Multiscale Modeling.
