Lecturers
Ha Bui
Ha Bui is currently Associate Professor and ARC Future Fellow
in the Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering at
Monash University. His major research interests are in the areas of
computational mechanics and material modelling with a particular
focus on bridging scales in modelling failure of geomaterials.
Expertise: Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics
Sid Kumar
Sid Kumar is currently Assistant Professor in Materials Science and
Engineering at TU Delft. His research interests lie in the intersection
of material science, mechanics and machine learning.
Expertise: Local-maximum entropy based techniques
Ignacio González Tejada
Ignacio González Tejada is currently Assistant Professor in Geomechanics at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. His research areas are related to geotechnics, granular media and loose material dams.
Expertise: Discrete Element Method
Alessandro Franci
Alessandro Franci is Assistant Research Professor at CIMNE and Adjoint Professor at the Universitat Polit`ecnica de Catalunya (UPC, Barcelona Tech). The research lines of Franci include the numerical simulation of Newtonian and non-Newtonian free-surface flows, fluid-structure interaction and thermal-coupled problems and particle-laden flows.
Expertise: Particle Finite Element Method
Pablo Cuellar
Pablo Cuellar is Associate Researcher at Federal Institute for Mate-
rials Research and Testing (BAM). His research, both experimental
and numerical, ranges from micromechanics to the overall behaviour
of complete foundation structures, with special attention to the effects
of cyclic loading and the general interaction between soil, water and
structure.
Expertise: Lattice Botlzmann Method
Charles Augarde
Charles Augarde is Head of Department and Professor of Civil
Engineering in the Department of Engineering. His main research
interest is numerical modelling of geotechnical and structural engi-
neering problems using finite element, meshless and scaled boundary
methods, examining ways to improve efficiency and accuracy including
novel solution methods.
Expertise: Material Point Method
