Combining mesh adaptation and PDE-constrained optimisation

Main contribution

I am involved in a research project base at Imperial College London on various advanced topics related to mesh adaptation as a consultant.

In the second half of the project, we are investigating how mesh adaptation approaches may be combined into PDE-constrained optimisation methods such that they accelerate the convergence and/or time-to-solution of the optimisation approaches. As part of this work, I am in the process of adding PDE-constrained optimisation functionality to Goalie, so that we will be able to interleave goal-oriented mesh adaptation with the optimisation process.
