Benjamin Ivorra
PhD in Mathematics from the University of Montpellier, France. Ternured professor at the Faculty of Mathematics of the Complutense University of Madrid. He has work experience in the BNP-Paribas company. He also carried out a postdoctoral stay at the Center for Mathematical Modeling at the University of Chile.
Teaching
Professor Benjamín Ivorra teaches classes on topics such as Differential Equations, Physics, Optimization and Numerical Analysis in different masters and bachelor’s degrees in Mathematics, Computer Science and Chemistry. He also participates in several educational innovation projects, aimed at increasing the interest of students. To do this, he basically uses examples from the real world in his teaching, such as those that arise in the industry.
Research
His research activity focuses on modeling, simulation and optimization of multiple problems of interest in industry and society. To cite a few examples, he has worked on microfluidic mixers, coastal structures, food treatments and veterinary and human epidemiology.
Numerical Simulation and COMSOL Multiphysics
Benjamin Ivorra intensively uses the COMSOL Multiphysics numerical tool and its MATLAB Module in his research work. For example, in collaboration with Stanford University, he has optimized a microfluidic mixer, achieving a 10-fold reduction in mixing time compared to various fluids. These improvements were subsequently validated experimentally.
As a professor, he has given several training courses, mainly aimed at doctoral students, professors and industry professionals, on the use of the COMSOL Multiphysics software. He has also taught on the interaction of COMSOL with MATLAB and its applications to industrial design. Finally, he has directed several theses (PhDs, Masters, Degrees, etc.) based on the use of COMSOL Multiphysics.
