תחומי מחקר
Dr. Marina Grigorovitch's research focuses on two key areas.
First, she specializes in the numerical and analytical modeling of heterogeneous materials, with a particular emphasis on nonlinear behavior and multiscale analysis using advanced finite element techniques. This research addresses structural challenges, such as fracture and material failure.
Second, Dr. Grigorovitch is dedicated to optimizing energy performance in buildings through multiscale modeling, aiming to develop self-sufficient, zero-energy nanogrids. Her work integrates sustainable energy solutions into existing infrastructures, enhancing building efficiency and contributing to energy rehabilitation.
Both areas leverage her expertise in computational mechanics and energy optimization.
