Robert Kollka
Center for Applied Mathematics
Robert Kolkka's mathematical interests include viscoelasticity and partial differential
equations with integral memory effects, bifurcation and nonlinear
stability theory, asymptotic and perturbation methods, and numerical
methods for memory effects with rapid transients. His chemical engineering
interests include theoretical polymer rheology: constitutive equations for
polymer melts and solutions, numerical methods for flow problems involving
single integral constitutive equations, and polymer processing: melt
fracture in polymer processing flows and other viscoelastic instabilities
in processing flows, fiber spinning.
