In this thesis we consider the problem of developing distributed control strategies for spacecraft formation flying. In light of possible interferometric applications, the study is conducted in two ...

In this thesis we use analytic combinatorics to deal with two related problems: graph enumeration and random graphs from constrained classes of graphs. We are interested in drawing a general picture of ...

The past decade has seen continuous growth in so-called precision medicine, due especially to great advances in the genetics. While applying it presently goes unquestioned in certain fields like oncology, ...

Editorial peer review is the gateway to scientific publication. It was established to ensure that research papers were vetted by independent experts before they are published. Despite the importance of ...

This thesis presents the a stabilized projection-based Reduced Order Model (ROM) formulation in low speed fluid flows using a Variational Multi-Scale (VMS) approach. To develop this formulation we use ...

We present a cell-centred model for the simulation of multicellular soft tissues that takes into account the underlying active process at the cytoskeletal level, and allows for active and passive cell-cell ...
Codony, David (Date of defense: 2021-03-01)
This PhD thesis focuses on the development of mathematical and computational models for flexoelectricity, a relatively new electromechanical coupling that is present in any dielectric at the micron and ...
Muixí Ballonga, Alba (Date of defense: 2020-11-30)
This thesis proposes a new computational model for the efficient simulation of crack propagation, through the combination of a phase-field model in small subdomains around crack tips and a discontinuous ...
Blanco Fernández, Guillem (Date of defense: 2020-04-16)
The main aim of this thesis is the study of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial of plane curve singularities. In this context, we prove a conjecture posed by Yano about the generic b-exponents of a plane ...
Bayona Roa, Camilo Andrés (Date of defense: 2017-12-15)
This thesis investigates numerical methods that approximate the solution of compressible flow equations. The first part of the thesis is committed to studying the Variational Multi-Scale (VMS) finite ...
