Advanced numerical analysis of granular matter
Multi-scale DEM-FEM approaches for fundamental research and applications.
About
I’m a Ph.D. in Civil and Mechanical Engineering with experience in Granular Matter, Geomechanics, and Numerical Modeling and Simulation.
Currently, I’m a researcher at Polytechnique Montreal in Canada, where I lead the numerical modeling aspects of the research group “Granular Mechanics for Mining Geotechnics”
We received an award
“Due to its particular importance, innovation, and broad appeal” our paper submitted to the Physical Review Letters deserved the mention of Editor’s Suggestion.
Research highlights
On mixtures of deformable and rigid particles
What are the compaction laws for mixtures of highly-deformable and rigid particles? Link here
On the shear strength of grain size disperse assemblies
How come the shear strength of very disperse granular materials is the same as for single size grain samples? Link here
On the shear behavior of sphere packings
