WIT - Wessex Institute of Technology

The Wessex Institute of Technology (WIT) is an internationally recognised organisation dedicated to advanced research and training on computational solution of engineering problems, including the supervision of Ph.D. theses and organisation of international courses and conferences. One of the well-recognized numerical techniques in computational mechanics, Boundary Element Method (BEM), has been initiated and is constantly developed at WIT. The main objective of the institute is to provide a link between research engineers and scientists and practising engineers in industry.

In the past WIT has successfully participated in several European Commission projects. Bellow some of the recent ones are listed:

1. Numerical simulation of gas flow in porous media, with application to landfill, (Contract No: CI1*_CT94-0077VE), International Scientific Cooperation, European Commission, WIT principal investigator, 1995-1998.

2. High performance simulation for interactive design, ESPRIT, European Commission, (Project No: EP25000), 1998-2000.

3. Low Risk Disposal Tehnology, (Contract No: EVG1-CT2000-00020), European Commission, FP5 - Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development Programme, 2001–2003.

 

Prof. Carlos Brebbia

Prof. Carlos Brebbia, received his PhD at Southampton University, England in 1968 and worked at MIT, USA and the Central Electricity Research Laboratories, UK as well as the University of Princeton, USA. He was appointed Lecturer at the University of Southampton and a Senior Lecturer before becoming a Reader in Computational Engineering. He became Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of California at Irvine. Dr. Brebbia is now Director of Wessex Institute of Technology.

He has written over 300 scientific papers, is author or co-author of 13 books and editor or co-editor of over 100 other books. Dr. Brebbia is an internationally well known specialist in numerical methods, finite and boundary elements and in the computer solution of engineering problems. He is the Editor of two scientific journals and has carried out a great deal of consultancy work for the engineering industry as well as having participated in many international projects and conferences. 

 

Dr. Viktor Popov

Dr. Viktor Popov, PhD in environmental modelling. He is head of the Environmental Fluid Mechanics Division and reader at WIT. He joined the Wessex Institute of Technology, as a researcher, in 1993. His research interests are linked to various physical processes in the field of environmental research and protection and include: environmental risk assessment, fluid flow and transport processes, hazardous waste management, heat transfer, acoustics, etc. He is the principal author of one book and over thirty journal and conference papers. He is a member of editorial board of one scientific journal and is co-editor of two books.
