معرفی
Dr. Thomas Takacs is a Project Leader in the Geometry in Simulations research group at the RICAM (Research Institute for Symbolic Computation), part of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His work focuses on advancing computational methods for solving partial differential equations, particularly through isogeometric analysis and spline-based numerical techniques. His research interests include smooth basis constructions, multi-patch domain coupling, and adaptive mesh refinement strategies.
Key contributions involve developing C1-continuous spline spaces over planar mixed meshes and unstructured quadrilateral meshes, with applications to engineering problems like linear elasticity. He explores the integration of machine learning (e.g., CNNs) for optimizing quad meshing and employs artificial neural networks in adaptive optimization frameworks. His work bridges geometric modeling and numerical analysis, addressing challenges such as singularity treatment in isogeometric analysis and approximation properties over self-similar meshes.
Dr. Takacs collaborates on multi-institutional projects, including the Geometry in Simulations group at RICAM. His publications span computational mechanics, numerical methods, and geometric algorithms, with a focus on advancing the theoretical foundations and practical implementations of isogeometric analysis.
