I build numerical models and AI-assisted tools for ground engineering: from coupled simulations of soil and rock to physics-informed machine learning and digital workflows for geohazard management.
A recent paper on pre-training neural physics simulators with synthetic dynamics caught my interest, since labeled simulation data is exactly the bottleneck I keep running into with PINNs...
I gave five frontier AI models the same one-sentence prompt: build a website explaining coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical processes in porous media, with beautiful and interactive illustrations. The results ranged...
Exploring the capabilities of the newly released Gemini 3.1 Pro by generating a complex, interactive 3D visualization of soil constitutive models using Three.js and Plotly.
There are several mathematical statements or problems that do not make sense at all at first glance, until closely scrutinized. A detailed examination then proves that the statements...
In physics, there are conservation laws for quantities like mass and energy. When we say a certain quantity obeys a conservation law, we mean that the amount of...
I recently finished reading the autobiography of one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century, Richard Feynman, entitled Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman. My feeling from beginning...
AI assistants for numerical simulations in geomechanics, demonstrating productivity gains in slope stability assessments.
An interactive primer on coupled thermo–hydro–mechanical behaviour, with every figure computed live in the browser.
Generates 3D terrain surfaces from XYZ point clouds or geographic bounds, with elevation profiles computed live in the browser.
Physics-informed neural networks for soil mechanics and poroelastic consolidation.
Interactive reference for coupled problems in geoengineering, from landslide simulations to heat flow analyses.
Finite difference solver for steady-state groundwater flow in 2D, turning research models into accessible tools.
