Simulation of two-fluid immiscible Stokes flows using hybrid nonconforming methods and geometrically unfitted meshes 

Piccardo, Stefano (Date of defense: 2023-12-04)

(English) We consider two-fluid problems involving immiscible Stokes fluids in contact and with surface tension at their interface. We develop, analyze, and compare two approaches for space discretization, the Hybrid ...

Rational-design of new candidates targeting bak and bombesin receptors in cancer 

Vila i Julià, Guillem (Date of defense: 2023-11-22)

Coercion-resistant cast-as-intended verifiability in electronic voting systems 

Finogina, Tamara (Date of defense: 2023-10-02)

(English) One of the most common fears regarding electronic voting is that a voting device will disregard the voter's intent and cast a different vote instead. An undetectable attack like that on a large scale will allow ...

Mathematical and computational modeling of flexoelectricity at fixed and moving interfaces, fracture surfaces and contact 

Barceló Mercader, Jordi (Date of defense: 2023-09-08)

(English) Flexoelectricity is a two-way coupling between strain gradient and polarisation or strain and polarization-gradient. Harnessing flexoelectricity as a functional property requires gradient engineering. This is a ...

Elliptic problems: regularity of stable solutions and a nonlocal Weierstrass extremal field theory 

Urtiaga Erneta, Iñigo (Date of defense: 2023-07-04)

(English) This PhD dissertation deals with qualitative questions from the theory of elliptic Partial Differential Equations (PDE) and integro-differential equations. We are primarily interested in a distinguished class of ...

High-performance computing fluid-structure interaction model of bioprosthetic aortic valve replacements 

Oks, David (Date of defense: 2023-07-17)

(English) Computational modeling and simulation (CM&S) provides a powerful cost- and time-efficient tool to access detailed mechanistic information of biomedical problems, which is not accessible in either clinical imaging ...

Unstable motions in the three body problem 

Paradela Díaz, Jaime (Date of defense: 2023-06-30)

(English) The 3 Body Problem (3BP) models the motion of three bodies interacting via Newtonian gravitation. It is called restricted when one body has zero mass and the other two, the primaries, have strictly positive masses. ...

Theory and computation of multiscale epithelial mechanics : from active gels to vertex models 

Ouzeri, Adam Amine (Date of defense: 2023-06-14)

(English) Epithelial monolayers perform a variety of mechanical functions, which include maintaining a cohesive barrier or developing 3D shapes, while undergoing stretches over a wide range of magnitudes and loading rates. ...

Discrete operators and distances on subdivision networks 

Monsó Burgués, Enrique P.J. (Date of defense: 2022-10-20)

(English) The research we have carried out lies within the domain of diffusion problems for elliptic operators that are defined on discrete structures called networks, that are graphs that are capable of discriminating ...

Flexoelectricity at surface instabilities and stress singularities 

Mohammadi, Hossein (Date of defense: 2023-06-16)

(English) The flexoelectric effect, the two-way linear coupling between strain gradient and electric polarization (direct flexoelectricity) or electric field gradient and strain (converse flexoelectricity) universally ...

Mathematical and computational modeling of active cellular flows 

Font i Reverter, Jordi (Date of defense: 2023-06-08)

(English) During development, cellular tissues undergo dramatic reconfigurations as a result of organized flows driven by active forces. Depending on the system, cellular flows and active forces can be understood from a ...
