Biographical Information

Professor Roma started as an engineering student in 1982 at the University of Sao Paulo, at Sao Paulo, Brazil. One year later, he moved to the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics at the same university, where he completed his undergraduate studies in 1986.

From 1987 to 1990, he was a graduate student at the National Institute for Space Research (INPE), at Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil. For his MSc degree in Space Science, he developed a dissertation on the modeling and control of the attitude motion of artificial satellites with deployable, flexible solar panels and with reaction wheels.

As a Teaching Assistant of the Applied Math Department, hired by the University of Sao Paulo in 1988, he went to New York in 1991 for the PhD program at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, NYU, where he obtained his doctorate from in January 1996.

Professor Roma concentrates on classes in the fields of computational fluid dynamics and numerical analysis, including numerical solution of ordinary and partial differential equations. His research interests are focused on computational fluid dynamics, mainly on the interactions of elastic interfaces with incompressible fluids, which often occur in problems in biofluid dynamics.
