Chair of Modeling and Scientific Computing (CMCS)
1 July 1998 - 1 December 2017
Director: Professor Alfio Quarteroni
The CMCS research group deals with the development, analysis, and application of mathematical and numerical models for the integration of complex systems. Solution methods are developed and applied to domains as diverse as fluid dynamics, structural analysis, mass transport, heat transfer and, more in general, to multiscale and multiphysics applications. Our approach is carried out across several fields such as numerical linear algebra for large scale and high performance computing, constructive approximation theory using finite elements, spectral elements, isogeometric analysis and reduced order models, partial differential equations, optimization, control, direct and inverse problems, uncertainty quantification. Complex multidisciplinary systems such as the Haemodel, the two ERC Advanced Grants Projects Mathcard and iHEART (for the simulation of the cardiovascular system), yacht design for America's cup, optimization of therapeutical tools in medicine and surgery, and many others, have been successfully addressed.

Your own virtual heart for
non-invasive heart diagnostics
Alfio Quarteroni and his team are building a virtual heart model based on personalized medical images that may one day help cardiologists and cardiac surgeons non-invasively diagnose pathological heart conditions. The team recently modeled and simulated the behavior of a patient’s aortic valve.
- Prof. Alfio Quarteroni awarded the ERC Advanced Grant "iHEART" (April 2017) (following the former ERC Advanced Grant "MATHCARD" awarded in 2008).
- ECCOMAS Award for the best PhD Thesis in 2015 to Dr. F. Negri (CMCS, EPFL)
Dr. Federico Negri, member of the Chair of Modelling and Scientific Computing, MATHICSE, SB, EPFL, has been awarded the ECCOMAS Award for one of the two best PhD Theses in 2015.
Many congratulations to Federico! - Dr. C. Malossi awarded the Gordon Bell Prize 2015 as member of a team of scientists of IBM Research and the California Institute of Technology.
- Prof. Alfio Quarteroni awarded the Galileo Galilei International Prize for Science 2015.
