Miroslav Vořechovský serves as a Fulbright Honorary Ambassador at Brno University of Technology.
Research activities
Dr. Vorechovsky focuses on challenging research topics spanning from nonlinear mechanics quasibrittle structures to probabilistic mechanics, reliability problems and statistics. For more information see his Curriculum Vitae. Also the sources of sponsorship and current scientific projects are named therein. Nonlinear fracture mechanics with focus on stochastic aspects. Size effects, scaling in structures, low-cycle and high-cycle fatigue of concrete. Discrete mesoscale modeling and nonlinear finite element modeling of composites.Behavior of fibers, yarns and fiber-reinforced composites. Efficient methods of reliability engineering, mathematical statistics (random variables, random fields and processes, extreme value theories) connected with nonlinear fracture mechanics methods (study of behavior of quasibrittle materials/structures).
Stochastic optimization techniques, structural safety and reliability, stochastic computational mechanics, Monte Carlo simulation techniques, genetic algorithms.
Programming and software development.
Biomechanics (skeletal), cell patterning and growth, epithelial morphogenesis and chemo-mechanical modelling for cancer (and fibrosis) research.
Research impact
Miroslav Vořechovský is featured in the publicly available list which contains either the top 100,000 scientists across all fields according to the composite citation index or those who are within the top 2% of scientists of their main subfield discipline (career-long updated to end-of-2019 [1], and to end-of-2020 [2]). The list has been composed by reserchers from Stanford University and uses Scopus data provided by Elsevier through ICSR Lab. The list is based on the May 06, 2020 snapshot from Scopus and is updated to citation year 2019 (the data are available as table S6 here).
