Dr. Daniela Alic is a Lecturer at the Politehnica University of Timișoara, Romania. She holds a Ph.D. in Physics, a Master’s degree in Theoretical and Computational Physics, and a Master’s degree in Engineering and Management of Mechanical Systems. Her interdisciplinary research background combines physics, numerical modelling, and mechanical engineering. Her earlier research focused on numerical relativity and the computational modelling of gravitational-wave sources, while her current research focuses on advanced computational methods for the modelling, simulation, analysis, and optimization of complex mechanical systems. Her research interests include computational fluid dynamics (CFD), finite element analysis (FEA), fluid–structure interaction (FSI), vehicle aerodynamics, structural dynamics, aeroacoustics, noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), vehicle performance optimization, and digital twins.
