Biography
Dr. Matouš is a Professor of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. in Theoretical & Applied Mechanics from the Czech Technical University in Prague. Dr. Matouš served as the Director of the Center for Shock Wave-processing of Advanced Reactive Materials (C-SWARM), which was established as one of the six NNSA Centers of Excellence whose primary focus had been on the emerging field of predictive science. In 2016, he held a visiting professor position at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Eindhoven University of Technology. Dr. Matouš’ interests are in predictive computational science and engineering at multiple spatial and temporal scales, including multi-physics interactions, the development of advanced numerical methods, and high-performance parallel computing. His research focuses on the interplay between applied mathematics, computer/computational science, and physics/materials science. Moreover, he leads a research program in image-based (data-driven) modeling of heterogeneous systems, focusing on co-designed simulations and experiments based on statistical analysis, computational mathematics, and AI/machine learning. He has authored or co-authored more than 200 journal and/or conference proceedings articles and abstracts. He is involved in several interdisciplinary research programs with funding from various agencies and private companies. In 2022, Dr. Matouš received the Rev. Edmund P. Joyce, C.S.C. Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching from the University of Notre Dame. Moreover, Dr. Matouš received the Rector's Award for the best Ph.D. students from the Czech Technical University in Prague. Several articles from Dr. Matouš’ group have been featured on the Web of Science’s highly cited list. One of his papers appeared as the cover article in Proceedings of the Royal Society A. He is a member of ASME, SES, USACM, EUROMECH, and IACM. Dr. Matouš is a Fellow of ASME. Dr. Matouš serves as an Associate Editor of the Journal of Computational Physics and International Journal for Multiscale Computational Engineering.
