I am a faculty member in the Department of
Mechanical Engineering at the University of Chile.
My current research interests involve
computational solid mechanics, computational
biomechanics, and unconventional numerical methods
for solving partial differential equations such as meshfree methods, partition of unity methods and
isogeometric analysis. I am also interested in
object-oriented
programming in scientific
computing.
I am a former engineer of several
companies related to mining industry in Chile, where
I got expertise in mechanical design, structural
analysis and finite element analysis of mining
and industrial equipment. My design expertise includes solid-liquid
separation equipment, industrial tanks and pressure
vessels. I have also conducted finite element
analysis in mining equipment such as
bucket-wheel excavators, chutes, belt conveyor
structures and ball mills.
