Biography

Miroslav Grmela has received his Ph.D. in physics from the Academy of Sciences of Czechoslovakia. He is an author of more than 200 publications in the domain of fundamental problems of statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, and in applications. Fundamental problems: geometrical structures (Hamiltonian, contact, GENERIC) of mesoscopic dynamics and thermodynamics. Applications: molecular simulations (polymeric fluids and granular gases); modeling of thermodynamic and rheological properties of polymeric fluids, suspensions and immiscible blends; non-Fickian diffusion in polymers. He received the Stanley Mason Award of the Canadian Rheological Society in 2018.
