The project involves the collaboration of three research units, with people of complementary and interdisciplinary skills in applied mathematics, numerical analysis and battery degradation experiments.
The work program of BAT-MEN will allow interactions between these research centers and also with their own external collaborations, some of them listed below.
Unit 1: Università del Salento, Lecce: Ivonne Sgura (PI), Claudio Mele, Massimo Frittelli, Maria Chiara D’Autilia, Maria Grazia Quarta
Ivonne Sgura (PI) is associate professor in Numerical Analysis at Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica “E. de Giorgi” (DMF). Current research activity deals with development and analysis of innovative techniques for numerical approximation of differential equations (ODEs and PDEs), on stationary and evolving domains and surfaces. Applicative areas of interest in the last ten years are: nonlinear elasticity and biomechanics (deformations of rubber-like and fiber-reinforced materials), electrochemistry and energetics (fuel cell and battery modeling, pattern formation in metal growth), computational issues related to parameter identification by nonlinearleast squares.
Claudio Mele (Innovation Engineering Dept.), associate professor in Applied Physical-Chemistry, head of the applied Applied Electrochemistry laboratory at the Department of Innovation Engineering, where the research activities are focused on corrosion of metals and on the development of materials for electrochemical energy conversion and storage, In particular, on Zn air battery prototypes.
The BAT-MEN project involve the research activity of:
Massimo Frittelli (from 01/01/2024);
Maria Chiara D’Autilia has a PostDoc position on the BATMEN Project funds (from 01/03/2024);
Maria Grazia Quarta is a PhD student in Mathematics and Computer Science (DMF) (starting December 2022).
Unit 2: Università de l’Aquila: Raffaele D’Ambrosio (Unit responsible), Vladimir Protasov, Carmela Scalone
Raffaele D’Ambrosio is full professor in Numerical Analysis and Head of the Teaching Board in Mathematical Engineering. His research focuses on geometric numerical integration of evolutive problems, including Hamiltonian problems, advection-reaction-diffusion problems generating periodic wavefronts, stochastic ordinary and partial differential equations, stochastic oscillators.
Vladimir Protasov is full professor in Numerical Analysis and his research is mostly oriented to numerical optimization, approximation theory, matrix theory and its counterpart in the numerics for dynamical systems.
Carmela Scalone is tenure track assistant professor (rtd-B) in Numerical Analysis at the University of L'Aquila. Her research interests mainly concern: matrix nearness problems, dynamical low-rank approximation in eigenvalue, optimisation and PDEs problems, numerical methods and conservation properties for ordinary and stochastic differential equations, in particular for oscillatory systems.
Unit 3: Università di Salerno: Dajana Conte (Unit responsible), Beatrice Paternoster; Angelamaria Cardone, Samira Iscaro, Giovanni Pagano
Dajana Conte is full professor in Numerical Analysis. Her research focuses on the numerical discretization of evolutive problems with memory (both deterministic and stochastic) based on integral and fractional differential equations, adapted discretization of partial differential equations by means of non-standard finite difference schemes, dynamical low-rank decomposition techniques for partial differential equations.
Beatrice Paternoster is full professor in Numerical Analysis. Her research focuses on the numerical discretization of ordinary and partial differential equations by means of adapted numerical schemes based on non-polynomially fitted strategies, highly oscillatory problems (both deterministic and stochastic).
Angelamaria Cardone is associate professor in Numerical Analysis. Her research focuses on the numerical treatment of evolutionary problems modeled by differential and integral equations.
