Oriol Colomés

I am an Assistant Professor in the Offshore Engineering section of the Civil Engineering faculty at TU Delft. I have a degree (BsC/MSc) in Civil Engineering (2011) and a PhD in Civil Engineering (2016) from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. After finishing the PhD I joined Duke University as a post-doctoral researcher (2016-2020). In June 2020 I was appointed as Assistant Professor at TU Delft.

Research interests

I worked on the development of efficient Finite Element solvers for several problems, including: turbulent incompressible flows, free-surface flows or visco-elasto-plastic solids subject to large deformations. My current research focuses on the development of efficient and accurate numerical methods for multi-phase, multi-material and multi-physics problems appearing in engineering applications. In particular, I am interested in the simulation of fluid-structure interactions in applications with complex and evolving geometries.

Although my main interest is focused on the computational engineering, particularly the computational fluid dynamics field, I am glad to recognize that structural engineering also fascinates me.

You can find more details in the Research section.
