About me

My name is Alvaro Bossio, I'm a PhD researcher at KU Leuven (Belgium), currently working in numerical modelling of electrochemical processes. 

I come from Barranquilla, right in the middle of the Caribbean coast of Colombia. A warm city full of color, music and easy-going people. I like play volleyball, make a lot of bbq, watch historical documentaries and travel.

I started my path into modelling by completing a bachelor degree in mechanical engineering at the University of the North, in my hometown. After a couple of years working as project engineer. I had the opportunity to know two amazing countries by making a joint master in mathematical engineering both in the University of L'Aquila, Italy and the Brno University of Technology, Czech republic, which changed completely my point of view with respect to maths, PDEs and fluid dynamics. Now, here I am in Belgium, facing a new challenge.

Setting up FEniCS for Windows in minutes: My suggested workflow

In this post I'll show you how to set everything to start modelling and solving PDEs numerically in minutes. There are hundreds of possibilities based on methods and software. I chose to use the FEniCS project mainly because it was the tool used within my research group. However, it did not pass very long when I started approciating its transparency and flexibility, besides... common, it's free!! FEniCS, stands for Finite Elements for Computing in Science (the -ni- in between placed just to make it sound nicer, as far as I know). It is an "open-source computing platform for the solution of PDEs" programmed in C++ and Python, which provides a nice combination between performance and ease-of-use.  To be sure, there are two projects, one called FEniCS and another called FEniCSx. The former is the stable version which has been developed, tested and debugged for years by several researchers around the globe. The latter is a new version in development, featuring some new fu...
