Juan David Barajas visited an academic in Spain as part of the development of his thesis co-directed by MWC researchers.
Juan David Barajas Calonge, PhD student in Applied Mathematics at the Universidad del Bío-Bío (UBB), who is developing his thesis under the direction of the researchers of the Centro de Modelamiento Matemático (CMM) of the U. de Chile: Dr. Luis Miguel Villada Osorio and Dr. Raimund Bürger, as well as Dr. Pep Mulet from the Universitat de València, Spain, completed four months of stay in Europe a few days ago.
“During the months of April to July, I was at the Universitat de València, in Spain”, explains Juan David and details that “My internship is framed within the objectives of my thesis project” and adds that “I worked under the supervision of Professor Pep Mulet on topics related to high-order numerical schemes for multispecies models in one dimension and polydisperse sedimentation models in two dimensions. We are currently making progress in proving that this first-order scheme preserves the hyperbolicity region of the model and as future work we hope to develop CWENO-type schemes on triangular meshes to obtain high-order schemes in this context”.
‘This internship was very profitable for me”, emphasises the student, “because it meant a great advance in my doctoral studies due to the fact that the mentioned works directly contribute to the objectives set out in the thesis project. In addition, I had contact with the members of the group Anàlisi Numèrica, Imatges, Multiresolució i Simulació (ANIMS), with whom I was able to exchange ideas for potential future collaborations”.

Regarding the financing of these international scientific linking activities, Juan David details that “the stay in Valencia was financed by ANID (Beneficios Complementarios 2024)”.
