Professor Eduardo De Souza Neto is Chair of Civil Engineering at Swansea University's School of Aerospace, Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. His office is located in the Engineering Central Building at Bay Campus. He is available for postgraduate supervision and maintains an active research profile in computational mechanics. Research Focus: Professor De Souza Neto specializes in multi-scale modeling of solids using computational homogenization methods. His work investigates complex material behaviors across physical scales, with applications including: Constitutive modeling of biological tissues (e.g., human arteries) Polycrystalline metal behavior prediction Heat conduction problems Microstructural optimization via topological derivatives Computational efficiency enhancements for multi-scale frameworks Current research explores sensitivity of macroscopic material properties to microstructural changes and fracture modeling in heterogeneous materials. Publication Trends: His recent articles (2016-2025) demonstrate strong focus on multi-scale computational frameworks, particularly: Development of virtual power methods for homogenization Advanced fracture and damage modeling techniques Computational efficiency in material failure analysis Applications in biomechanics, composites, and geomechanics Teaching & Supervision: He teaches undergraduate and postgraduate modules including Finite Elements for Civil Engineers (EG-3067/EG-M92), Construction Methods in Infrastructure Works (EG-M345), and Construction Methods in Building Works (EG-M347). He currently supervises PhD students in computational mechanics topics including boundary element methods, machine learning-aided material modeling, and computer vision-based microstructure reconstruction.
