معرفی
Prof. Josip Tambaca is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Zagreb's Faculty of Science (PMF), specializing in mathematical modeling of mechanical systems, continuum mechanics, and biomedical engineering. He holds a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Zagreb (2000) and has conducted extensive research on fluid-structure interaction, stent mechanics, and micropolar elasticity. His work bridges theoretical analysis (PDEs, asymptotic methods) with applied problems in cardiovascular systems and engineering structures.

Research focuses on mathematical models for elastic structures (rods, plates, shells), with emphasis on biomedical applications like coronary stents. Key projects include 'Mathematical Modeling of Vascular Stents' and 'Modeling Endovascular Stents.' Collaborations with institutions like Texas Heart Institute and SIAM highlight his interdisciplinary impact.
Publications span 20+ years, emphasizing fluid-structure interaction, asymptotic analysis, and numerical methods. His work 'A New Linear Shell Model for Shells with Little Regularity' (2014) and 'Mechanical Behavior of Fully Expanded Coronary Stents' (2011) are seminal in their fields. Teaching responsibilities include courses on Partial Differential Equations and Elasticity Theory.
