The research activity of the team refers to the
qualitative and computational analysis of nonlinear dynamical systems
with attention to their applications in technology and biology. The main
research topics are kinetic models for cellular interactions, continuum
models for migration and pattern formation of cells, influence of the
mechanics in growth of cell clusters, traffic and crowd dynamics. Other active research areas
are multiphase flow, porous media, non-Newtonian fluids.
Inter-disciplinar collaborations are activated between the team and
research centers in biology and medicine. Among others, we mention the
Institute for Cancer Research and Treatment, Candiolo (Italy), namely
Prof. Federico Bussolino, and the Molecular Biotechnology Center, University of Turin,
Turin (Italy), namely Prof. Guido Forni. The team collaborates strongly with several
other teams of an European Network including France, England, Scotland,
Poland, Sweden, Germany, Spain and Israel: MCRTN - 6th Framework Programme
on Research, Technological Development and Demonstration- European
Commission - "Modeling, Mathematical Methods and Computer Simulation of
Tumour Growth and Therapy ", 2004-2008
