In course of time, the developer core consolidated into the following group:

Jaroslav Kruis

is author of one book about domain decomposition methods, author of 15 papers in journals (7 in international journals with impact factor) and 140 conference papers. His areas of expertise are domain decomposition methods, parallel computing, structural dynamics, numerical methods in mechanics and material modeling.

Tomáš Krejčí

Image

is author and coauthor of 5 journal papers (4 in international journals with impact factor) and more than 40 conference papers. He works in the field of heat and moisture transport problems, coupled problems and he is also experienced in the creep models for concrete.

Tomáš Koudelka

is author and coauthor of 5 journal papers (3 in international journals with impact factor), one book and more than 50 conference papers. He deals with finite element method, modeling of concrete, soils and other materials. His field of interest is also programming in C++ and other languages.



There are also some active contributing coworkers:

Jiří Maděra
