Stefan Engblom

Stefan Engblom is a Professor in Scientific Computing at Uppsala University, Department of Information Technology. His research focuses on developing computational methods and software for scientific applications, with particular expertise in numerical methods, fast algorithms, and simulation of complex systems. He is affiliated with the Scientific Computing division within the Information Technology department at Uppsala University.

Engblom's research spans several key areas including fast multipole methods for efficient computation of long-range interactions, stochastic simulation of reaction-diffusion processes in complex geometries, computational epidemiology for modeling disease spread, and fluid dynamics simulations. His work combines theoretical development with practical implementation, resulting in several widely used software packages.

His publications reveal a consistent focus on developing efficient numerical algorithms that address computational challenges in various scientific domains. The research shows a progression from fundamental algorithm development (fast multipole methods) to applications in biology (reaction-diffusion systems) and public health (epidemic modeling), demonstrating the versatility and applicability of his computational approaches.

Engblom maintains active software development through several research codes including SimInf for epidemic modeling, URDME for reaction-diffusion processes, FMM2D/FMM3D for fast multipole methods, and other specialized tools for fluid dynamics and fiber simulations. His stenglib provides general-purpose Matlab libraries used in his research and available to the broader scientific community.
