Publish in high impact magazines. Participate in research projects and contracts with industry of interest to the RTD group. Collaborate in the preparation of competitive research proposals for the RTD group.
Research topic:
Development and analysis of numerical methods in the framework of data-driven models, accounting for their efficiency and the credibility of the solutions. These techniques are used to solve challenging problems from different fields in applied sciences and engineering.
Rubén Zorrilla
Position: Severo Ochoa PostDoc Trainee Position in Kratos Multiphysics Group
Team leader: Riccardo Rossi
Functions: Plan and conduct high-quality research. Collaborate with various research groups across Europe and elsewhere. Document and disseminate research results in Cimne and externally. Publish in high impact magazines. Participate in research projects and contracts with the industry of interest to the RTD group. Collaborate in the preparation of competitive research proposals for the RTD group.
Research line: Rubén Zorrilla's research is mainly focused on the resolution of multiphysics engineering problems, with special emphasis on the Fluid-Structure Interaction one. In this regard, he plans to continue exploiting his previous research on CFD and FSI non-conforming mesh methods to extend their application range to exact geometry representation solvers as well as to the Fluid-Structure-Contact Interaction problem.
He also aims at complementing these main research lines with the development and implementation of numerical methods for other engineering problems such as the compressible Navier-Stokes equations or the free-surface flows.
As an important member of the Kratos Multiphysics community, he is also expected to maintain his contribution level by doing code revision, maintenance, documentation and validation tasks.
Mariano Tomás Fernández
Position: Severo Ochoa PhD Position in Credible Data-driven Models group
Team leader: Pedro Díez
Functions: Complete a PhD in "Computational and Mathematical Modeling" at UPC. The candidate is expected to complete the PhD thesis in a maximum of three years. Collaborate with various research groups at CIMNE and around the world. Publish a minimum of two publications in JCR newspapers during the PhD period.
Project: "Bayesian - Reduced-Order inversion scheme for nonlinear problems with applications to lithospheric structure"
The idea of the project is to solve an inverse problem regarding the lithospheric structure parameters. To this end, a large number of results of the forward Stokes flow problem in a three-dimensional domain are required. Solving the problem at an affordable computational cost, the full order finite element method and reduced-order approaches are used. A smart implementation of the nonlinear rheological parameter description is aimed, for physical completeness, at both the full and reduced-order approaches.

Functions: Complete a PhD on Computational Fluid Mechanics, in particular, in fundamental aspects of the finite element method. Collaborate with various research groups within CIMNE and worldwide. To publish in JCR journals during the PhD period.
Research line: Zulkeefal is a Computational Fluid Dynamics and Clean Energy enthusiast. He has been a part of CIMNE since November 2020 as a Severo Ochoa Ph.D. student in the Fluid Mechanics group led by Prof. Ramon Codina. He holds an MSc in Sustainable Energy from Imperial College London and is a Commonwealth Scholarship Alumnus. After developing a comprehensive understanding of renewable energy technologies in his MSc, Zulkeefal decided to work on developing efficient techniques to model and analyze such system. Zulkeefal chose CIMNE to pursue this research due to its excellent international reputation as the leader in Numerical Methods for Engineering.
