Daniel Barbedo Vasconcelos Santos

I have a strong interest in numerical simulations of both fluid and solid mechanics. During my master’s studies, I developed a mechanical contact formulation for solids using a B-spline surface as the contact interface within a finite element simulation framework. My doctoral research focused on single and two-phase flow simulations, employing the finite element method to model flow through complex geometries, using a decoupled mesh approach for accurate fluid interface representation. Currently, as a postdoctoral researcher, I am working on fluid-structure interaction, using numerical simulation to help design remotely powered intelligent materials.
