Algebraic multigrid methods are now quite popular in practical applications because they can be included in conventional finite element packages without changing the data structure of the package.
Sweden FEMLAB is an interactive program for the numerical solution of ordinary and partial differential equations based on the Finite Element Method in adaptive form with automatic error control.
His research emphasis has been on designing adaptive multilevel finite element methods coupled with hierarchical solvers and its applications to simulation of biomolecular reactions.
Zhang Xian Qian,

Projects in this area include the simulation of material drape using finite element methods and the use of Bezier curves to model garment patterns and knitted fabric.
Arthur Dawkins,
Astro-physicist

Finite Element Method (FEM) is a mathematical (numerical) tool (just like Finite Difference Method) used to solve complex physical problems which are not amenable to classical techniques of mathematics.
A Finite Element analysis is essentially an approximate method for calculating the behaviour of a real structure by performing an algebraic solution of a set of equations describing an idealised model structure with a finite number of variables.
Develop methods to generate load spectra from dynamical response spectra calculated with finite element or multi body models, by inverse methods for structures with non-linear dynamic behavior.
