The Numerical and Computational Mathematics Research Group develops and analyzes computational methods for modeling complex physical, biological, and environmental systems. A core research direction is the numerical solution of partial differential equations, particularly those arising in fluid dynamics, conservation laws, and fluid mechanics. The group designs, analyzes, and implements stable and efficient numerical schemes, with emphasis on accuracy, convergence, stability, and high-performance computation for large-scale simulations.
Beyond fluid systems, the group applies mathematical modeling and numerical analysis to interdisciplinary problems. Research includes image processing and geospatial analysis, where computational techniques are used for pattern recognition, data reconstruction, and spatial data interpretation. The group is also active in disease modelling and mathematical epidemiology, developing predictive and data-driven models to understand transmission dynamics and inform public health strategies. Collectively, the group integrates rigorous numerical analysis with practical computation to address real-world scientific and societal challenges.
