Our Profile

Who we are
We are a postgraduate program with interdisciplinary master’s and doctoral courses (category 4 in CAPES), focused on offering a differentiated education combining theory and application of concepts from Exact Sciences, Engineering, Biological Sciences and Health.

A brief history of previous activities can be seen here.

What we do
We evaluate real problems with a multidisciplinary perspective applying theoretical concepts, ranging from the mathematical description of problems to the development and testing of models. The course also addresses the applied part, involving the creation of computational systems for the efficient implementation of the solutions found.

The program has the following areas of research:

Bioinformatics and Molecular Modeling

Biomechanics

High Performance Computing

Dynamics of Deformable Bodies

Fluid Dynamics

Software Engineering

Computational Physiology

Computational Intelligence

Modeling of Continuous Systems

Optimization and Optimum Control

Image processing

Distributed systems

Who are our students
Anyone interested in a multidisciplinary training that involves knowledge of at least two interrelated areas, but which are not usually covered in a single course.

We have already received students from the following training areas: Computer Science, Engineering (Civil, Computational, Electrical, Mechanical, Production, Control and Automation), Biology, Biomedicine, Dentistry, Physics, Statistics, Mathematics and Administration.
