Our research interests in the Scientific Computing Group lie in the area of multiscale/multiphysics modelling and parallel large-scale simulations of biological systems. We focus on the development of new computational models and corresponding numerical methods suitable for the next generation of super computers. We are working on stochastic multiscale modelling of motion, the interaction, deformation and aggregation of cells under physiological flow conditions, biofilm growth, and coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations, as well as the modelling of transport processes in healthy and tumour-induced microcirculation.
