PIMS Site Director & Professor of Mathematics, Simon Fraser University

Dr. Fetecau is a Professor of Mathematics and PIMS Site Director at Simon Fraser University. His research interests include:

Mathematical models for self-collective/swarming behaviour (theory and applications).
Regularizations of fluid dynamics equations, Kuramoto-Sivashinsky and other related equations.
Numerical methods and mathematical modeling and analysis for multi-scale phenomena, with emphasis on fluid dynamics; particle methods.
Geometric mechanics and its relation to numerical algorithms for mechanical systems, symplectic integration, variational methods for collisions.

The SFU Math Symposium is an annual event that brings together innovative research on computation and mathematics, while showcasing the computational expertise of the SFU department and of other invited speakers. Speakers: Caroline Colijn ~...

The main theme of this workshop will be analysis of various deterministic and stochastic models in applied math. It will coincide with the PIMS-CSC distinguished lecture given by C. David Levermore at SFU. The intended audience includes graduate...

I will present an overview of various results on dynamics and equilibria of a simple first-order aggregation model. In spite of its simplicity, there is rich mathematics and a variety of issues that can be investigated for this model.

We consider an aggregation model that consists of an active transport equation for the macroscopic population density, where the velocity has a nonlocal functional dependence on the density, modelled via an interaction potential. We set up the model...
