Philippe Devloo made his undergraduate studies in Gent, Belgium in "Electromechanical Engineering" (1976-1981). After a one-year study of "Computer Science" in 1981, he enrolled at the University of Texas in Austin to pursue a PhD in computational mechanics under the supervision of J T Oden (1982-1987).
Since 1992, Philippe Devloo has been a professor at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the University of Campinas in Brazil. His main interests are the application of object-oriented technology in scientific computing, finite element technology and continuum mechanics. Last year, he successfully applied for a scholarship funded by the German Academic Exchange Service within the programme "Research Stays for University Academics and Scientists". During his three-month research stay, he and Bernd Flemisch will investigate the numerical approximation of fluid flows through fractured porous media. A central tool of the planned collaboration will be the open-source simulator DuMux.
We warmly welcome Philippe Devloo and very much look forward to a successful collaboration!
