Fabio Gracia
Geomechanics Software Engineer
Dr. Gracia has a background in numerical modeling and software development in areas related to geomechanics. He has developed software using the Material point Method for applications dealing with large deformations, such as granular avalanches and soil deformation caused by rock falls. Programming languages include C++, Python and Javascript.
