New paper, published in ASCE Headquarters JGGE, from Ali Monzer's research on development & application of MPM to simulate fluidisation on pressurised leaking pipe. It has been a pleasure to work with Alba Yerro and well done to Ali! #infrastructure #ground doi.org/10.1061/JGGEFK…

The agenda for the 14th Annual MPM workshop is ready!🎉🎉 There is still a week to register and participate in the MPM Annual Workshop. I hope to see you soon at UMaine mpmworkshop.com

Today was a great first day of presentations during the 14th MPM Workshop at University of Maine!! This is our group picture when I was asking everyone to do a funny face and apparently I was the only one who did it. This is not the official photo.

What a beautiful sunrise over UMaine. 🌅

Howdy folks and happy graduate recruitment season! We’re currently soliciting applications for a PhD student with a start date of Aug 2024. The selected student will be evaluating foundation design for marine renewable energy systems. As always, see below for contact details!!

Are you an engineering, architecture, computer science, or social science major looking for a #paid #internship? Do you want to make a difference? Apply for the NHERI #REU Summer Program. Conduct research that supports the mitigation of natural hazards. Deadline 02.09.24!

📢 Excited to share our research results at NHERI ECO computational symposium! This work was conducted by MS student Anthony Flores and consists of numerical simulation of soil-rigid structure interaction using MPM.👩‍💻

Having fun at the lab with Andrés Espinosa. Testing carbonation of silts and subsequent calcium carbonate precipitation. #SustainableSoilStabilization

Same CO2 capture process, this time at the GDS triaxial machine. Excellent job done by Abdul Aziz Umar.

Paper Alert: a great collaboration on how benthic infauna possible affects geotechnical seabed characteristics. Check it out. #OpenAccess link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Join us on Friday, February 23, 2023!!

#EconTwitter I have an RAship available for a student to pursue a fully funded master's degree in #economics at UMaine. The student will assist with research in public, urban, and innovation economics. Please comment/DM/email me for more information.

Momentos de vergüenza internacional para Ecuador.

Very proud of the new Masters of Civil Engineering and former advisees Andrés Espinosa and Rakesh Pandit 🎉🎉. I wish them a successful career full of joy. Buen viento y buena mar!

During an earthquake, soil can essentially turn liquid and destabilize foundations under structures, causing them to collapse. UMaine researchers have been awarded a grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation to develop an affordable method to reduce damage. umaine.edu/news/blog/2024…

One of the perks of conducting research at U. Of Florida's NHERI facility is that you can get to talk to Nina Stark. It was so refreshing and great to see her.

We also had a chance to go to the Natural History Museum in Gainesville.

Occupy Musk!
