Eric Neiva is a postdoctoral researcher in Hervé Turlier's research group on the multi-scale physics of morphogenesis at the Centre Interdisciplinaire de Recherche en Biologie (CIRB).
How do cells form embryos ?
He helps biologists and physicists clarify this question using numerical models. More specifically, he designs new finite element methods targeting active flows on deformable surfaces.
He holds a PhD in applied mathematics from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Barcelona. His thesis focused on large-scale finite elements for modeling the complex geometries present in metal 3D printing.
He holds a double degree in mathematics and civil engineering from UPC's Centre de Formació Interdisciplinària Superior (CFIS).
