Name
My full name in Vietnamese is Nguyễn Đăng Mạnh, in the order: surname-middle name-first name.


My PhD project
The title of my PhD project is "
Iso-geometric analysis and shape optimization in electromagnetism".
My supervisors are
Anton Evgrafov , Jens Gravesen (main) .

( Allan Roulund Gersborg was one of my supervisors. In June 2010, Gersborg changed his organization).

The period of my project is February 2009 - February 2012.


My research

I am a member of a new research group in Department of Mathematics, namely Isogeometric analysis and shape optimization.

I am also a member of the Topology Optimization Research group.

We first consider isogeometric shape optimization from the methodological point of view. To this end, we investigate how to extend a B-spline parametrization of a domain from the boundary to its interior in an inexpensive and robust way:

Isogeometric shape optimization of vibrating membranes (downloadme) (with A. Evgrafov, A.R. Gersborg, and J. Gravesen), Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 200, 1343-1353, 2011. DOI:10.1016/j.cma.2010.12.015

For constraining multiple eigenvalues of the Laplacian operator, we need to find smooth replacements:

On the sensitivities of multiple eigenvalues (With J. Gravesen, and A. Evgrafov), Structural and Multidisciplinary optimization, DOI: 10.1007/s00158-011-0644-9.

For shape optimization and isogeometric analysis methods, see

Isogeometric analysis and shape optimisation (With J. Gravesen, A. Evgrafov, A.R. Gersborg, and P.N. Nielsen), in Proceedings of 23rd Nordic Seminar on Computational Mechanics, (A. Erikson and G. Tibert eds.), Stockholm 2010, pp. 14-17.

We then moved on electromagnetics. Our first task is utilizing isogeometric analysis to simulate electromagnetic models:

We now have results for improving efficiency of wireless energy transfer:

Shape optimization of sub-wavelength antennas using isogeometric analysis (with A. Evgrafov, J. Gravesen), International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, submitted.

On going:

Isogeometric analysis modeling and optimization of nano-dimensional golden antennas, in collaboration with a physics group at University of Southern Denmark.

We finally got new results for a joint problem with Domenico Lahaye, Delft University of Technology. A first corresponding paper is being finished:

Economical designs of magnetic density separators using isogeometric analysis and shape optimization (with A. Evgrafov, J. Gravesen, D. Lahaye),, Structural and Multidisciplinary optimization, to be submitted.
