Rossitza S. Marinova Department of Mathematical and Computing Sciences Concordia University College of Alberta Edmonton, AB

DEPARTMENT SEMINAR DATE: Friday, January 13th, 2006 TIME: 3:30pm PLACE: Thorvaldson 271 *** Everyone is welcome ***

Abstract

This talk will be an overview of research interests and results. It will be focused on problems in the area of scientific computation such as:

• Navier-Stokes and convection-diffusion equations.
• Variational imbedding for inverse and/or ill-posed problems.
• Pedestrian motion in realistic virtual reality environments.
• Industrial applications.

About the speaker

Rossitza S. Marinova is an Assistant Professor with the Department of Mathematical and Computing Sciences of Concordia University College of Alberta since August 2004. She received a Ph.D. in Computational and Applied Mathematics from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in 1999. Her thesis work included creation of economical schemes for solving the Navier-Stokes equations. From July 2002 to July 2004, R. Marinova was a research scientist at Enabled Simulation & Optimization Software, Edmonton holding a NSERC Industrial Research Fellowship. Rossitza moved to Edmonton from Tokyo where she worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the National Aerospace Laboratory.

Before visiting Japan, Rossitza was an assistant professor at the Technical University of Varna and at the Varna Free University, Bulgaria. She also worked for a couple of months (1997-98) at the University of Nijmegen, the Netherlands.
