Organisation profile
The Institute of Numerical Modelling (INM) is a research unit of the University of Latvia Faculty of Science and Technology, established in December 2019.
The structure of the Institute consists of:
- Laboratory of Semiconductor Technologies;
- Laboratory of Multiphysical Processes;
- Laboratory of Environmental Processes;
- Centre of Thermophysical Measurement and the Computing Centre.
INM unites several research groups of the Chair of Electrodynamics and Continuum Mechanics. The aim of the Institute is to promote engineering- and physics-oriented research of continuous environmental processes to be used by Latvian and European industry, as well as to ensure and advance the training of highly qualified specialists in these fields.
The main research directions of INM include mathematical modelling approaches and applications of high performance calculations (HPC) in the studies of various natural and technologically physical processes. Research funding consists of the European Union and the Latvian Council of Science research projects and programes, international cooperation projects and other industrial customers, as well as state and local government funds.
