Gabriela Tanase

Lecturer dr. Gabriela Tanase is affiliated with the Department of Mathematics at Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi, Romania. Her academic career spans teaching and research in numerical analysis and shell theory.

• Education: DEA in Applied Mathematics (University of Pau, France, 1991-1992); PhD in Applied Mathematics (University of Pau, 1996, equivalent to Romanian doctorate in Mathematics, 1998).

Her research focuses on numerical analysis, finite element methods, and thin shell modeling. Key contributions include mixed formulations for Naghdi shell models and stabilization techniques for numerical methods.

Her publications (1992-1998) address covariant divergence, transverse shear dualization, and equilibrium formulations in thin shell mechanics, reflecting interdisciplinary work between mathematics and structural engineering.

She has participated in international conferences (e.g., 25th Numerical Analysis Congress, France) and authored a textbook on splines and finite elements (1998, co-authored with Constantin Ilioi).
