| I am a research and development engineer at MSC Software Corporation in Los Angeles, CA, working in the Enterprise Computing division, where I am a member of the NASTRAN development team. NASTRAN is the industry standard, general purpose, linear and non-linear, static, modal and dynamic, finite element analysis (FEA) commercial software, originally developed by NASA. |
| I graduated with my Ph.D in 2006 from the Computational Solid Mechanics Group, at the Graduate Aeronautical Laboratories, California Institute of Technology in California. My advisor was Prof. Michael Ortiz. The subject of my doctoral research was mesh adaptivity in solid dynamics, my dissertation focussed on the exploration and development of a variational finite element mesh adaption framework for non-linear solid dynamic applications and its conceptual links with the theory of dynamic configurational forces. A summary of this work is written in this paper and published here. |
| From September 1996 to August, 2001 I held the position of research and development engineer at the Center for Industrial Research, one of the R&D centers of the Tenaris Corporation. I completed my engineering degree with an academic Honor Diploma at the University of Buenos Aires, School of engineering in Buenos Aires, Argentina where I was the first student who completed the degree with an undergraduate research thesis in the Mechanical engineering program. |
