Research summary
AI-generated

Héctor Gómez works in computational mathematics and mathematical modeling, developing numerical simulation methods that combine physics and biology to study problems such as tumor growth, blood and fluid flow, and droplet behavior in soft or deformable materials. His work often bridges mechanistic (physics-based) modeling with data-driven tools like deep learning, applying these methods to medical imaging problems such as breast and prostate cancer detection. Students in this group would likely engage with both applied mathematics/computational modeling and biomedical applications.
