Research

Materials and manufacturing processes is a research area to study relationships between process, structure development, and resulting characteristics of a manufactured component. It includes characteristics of material combinations to determine component quality, and lifetime in the operating environment. Mathematical modeling, computational techniques and optimization methods for product design and manufacturing of e.g. metal cast components and surface coatings are of interest. The research covers finite element simulation of electro-deposition of metals and application of computational fluid dynamics to heat transfer problems. Experimental validation methods are important for development of high-quality computational models.

Biography

Ilia Belov has a master degree in Applied Mathematics from the Mordovian State University (Saransk, 1997), and a PhD in Mathematical Modeling and Numerical Methods from Institute for Mathematical Modeling, RAS (Moscow, 2000).
