Modeling, numerical methods, optimization algorithms are mathematical tools that enable to translate the physical phenomena into a discrete system, i.e., a problem that is solvable by a computer. Research in this field is fundamental to increase the level of complexity of the problems that we are able to takle, in both physical complexity – through modeling – and accuracy – through improved numerical algorithms.
