Assistant Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering (Section of Mathematics), Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto (FEUP), and a researcher at the Centre of Mathematics, University of Minho, Portugal. He received his PhD in Science and Engineering of Polymers and Composites from the University of Minho in 2012, a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Chester in 2019, and was a visiting researcher at MIT in 2016 and 2017. His current research interests are numerical analysis, applied mathematics, partial and fractional differential equations, mathematical modelling, computational mechanics, computational fluid dynamics, complex viscoelastic flows, rheology, anomalous diffusion, and machine learning.
Cecília CoelhoCurrently pursuing a Ph.D. in Mathematics at the University of Minho focused on enhancing the performance of real-world systems modelling (physics, biology, chemistry, finance and engineering) by exploring the symbiosis of differential equations and neural networks and the integration of expert-knowledge, in the form of explicit constraints, into neural networks.
